Any way to secure a Road Angel 2 on dash without the mounting kit ?
 
I want to be able to take the RA with me when I leave the car & leave no visible trace of it - ie no mounting kit. Its a pain to keep sticking the kit on & taking it off everytime I leave the car, so any ideas ?

Velcro ?

Epoxy works well, not too good if you want to take it out again through.

As mentioned, velcro may work or those little sticky foam pads, that's what I use on my TomTom Bluetooth gps holder

Would stuck down velcro mark the dash when its removed at all ? Plus its not entirely invisible, you would leave velcro behind (stuck to the dash) as a give away.

I borrowed one off a mate when I went to rally gb last year, I just used blu-tack! :D

Useful in 90% of day-to-day situations is that stuff ;)

A give away to what - you may stick your porn mag to the dash with it.

When it come to final removal it may or may not leave a sticky residue. How easily that can be removed will depends on the material the dash is made from. Usually a little meths or Sticky Stuff Remover will shift it, just test on an inconspicuous area first!

:lol1: You could just screw a hook into the roof and hang it off of a piece of string. Granted, everytime you went round a corner it would smack you or your passenger in the side of the head and when you braked, it would clatter onto the windscreen, but just think, get to your destination, stop, neutral, handbrake, switch off, rub side of head, reach up and unhook. Perfect :lol1:

Blu-Tack ..... as previously mentioned - it works a treat !

on my old classic....

bent the metal fixing kit that comes with it so that the magnet was facing up, the rest of the bracket was bent around with the 'bottom' part tucked into the back of the sunglasses/storage box thing on the top of the dash (where it hinges)

if that makes sense.

www.indigoshop.co.uk is where i work, a main supplier of velcro hook and loop fasteners, so if anyone needs a small ammount i can prob do it for free, depending on how much you need :-)
