The idea is pretty good,hooks into dashboard vents making it a good base easy for the GPS.The problem is it doesn't stay in the vent,easy for it to pop out

This was a good idea, but for my vehicle it's too heavy, and placing it in the vent only causes it to droop down, making it unusable.

This is a great idea and would work fine if it fit in my air conditioning vent

great idea

I thought this was a great idea

Great idea.

totally a waste of money with this great idea.

It's a great idea and would be a great product if it really WORKED

I hated the idea of sticking my gps to the windshield and the bean bag-dashboard holder was huge clunky and ugly device that did NOT suit me at all.

It is a good idea to mount your GPS somewhere besides the windshield

Nice idea but obvious doesn't work in all cars.

This is a neat idea, but it will all depend on the details of your vents.

This was a great idea, but the plastic clips are too small and one of them broke almost immediately.

The mount is a terrific idea in that the crooks who look for suction cup rings on the windshield don't break into your car.

Great idea just not good quality.

When I first got this, I thought it was such a great idea.

Great idea just need more work to assure the clamp will maintain grip.

Good idea

Great idea but poor engineering, does not work as described.

Good idea, but it does not hold well on a PT Cruiser''s vents they are round and fairly longer then regular vents, are there longer

Nice idea but obvious doesn't work in all cars.

Good basic idea

Great idea to mount in air vent and get the GPS off windshield to avoid blocking your view

Not sure if this is a material choice, design, or manufacturing error but the mount is a great idea if they could make it last.

The vent holder is a great idea, but it needs to be made of something other than a cheap plastic that breaks easily.

It looked like a great idea in the ad.

Nice idea, but not for use as advertised with anything but a Nuvi GPS

Great idea

I think it's a decent idea and worth it to try.

Great idea but needs work!

It's a nice idea for states such as California who forbid you to use windshield mounts, and especially for my car (a Mazda CX-7) which windshield is too far from the reach of the driver

Good idea but poorly engineered and cheaply made

However, after a month, the clip arms began to lose their grip (after a really hot day - it might be a good idea to remove the unit from the dash on really hot days)

Not even close to fitting my 2007 Dodge Quad cab it seem to be a good idea and i am sure it works in other cars/

Great idea, but the weight of the Garmin makes the whole thing drop off when touched.

Love the idea of no spring that can pop out and go down your car vent but the solid clip broke and went down the car vent!

You would have to remove it each time unless you wanted to keep the GPS mounted and visible to people walking by outside the car, not a good idea.

Great idea but needs to be taken a bit further with metal vent clips.

My bright idea was to clip the whole thing to the pulled out ashtray.

The mount has a lifetime warranty and Arkon has an easy way to order the replacement clips (see comment from Aaron at Arkon below as well as in the question section)
