Guys

I've got a Blackvue Dash cam for front and rear and have stuck the front one to the windscreen as per the adhesive sticker provided in the box.

I've noticed that the front camera is starting to fall slightly out of position as it seems the adhesive sticker provided is not holding onto the windscreen that well and may even be because of the sun on the windscreen melting the sticker abit.

Has anyone used a different adhesive sticker to hold the camera onto the windscreen such as gorilla tape or something similar? If gorilla tape I've got some of the clear double sided tape, any issues with using that to attach the front camera on the windscreen?

Cheers

ebay - 3M Double sided pads in the required size.

A few quid, problem solved. Glass clean the life out of the windscreen before you apply the new adhesive.

I have BlackVue cameras front and rear and not had any problems with them coming unstuck!
I reckon prep is your problem. I used some panel wipe
