I followed directions and cleaned the surface prior to installation, however, the adhesive would not stick at all.

I’ve cleaned the surfaces with the alcohol swab, and applied new adhesive patches included in the kit, but they fall off after a week or two

The 2000 Camry did not have a flat enough surface it to install it where it would be in a safe arms reach

Needs completely flat surface to mount on, but otherwise works great!

We placed them on similar areas of the dash, on smooth surfaces as directed

But I have some stickier stick that is working great even on the slightly rough surface

There are no smooth surfaces that allow the phone to sit at a comfortable level for use or to see clearly

Since the magnet is attached to the phone, I can attach my phone to other metal surfaces like the fridge or a file cabinet at work, safe and out of the way, but still handy

As one reviewer stated, if you're having a problem with it sticking to a surface, you're not reading the simple directions, which are to clean the surfaces with provided alcohol wipes (do it reeeeeeally good), let dry

The rough surfaces tend not stick so well.

The only issue I had was that the 3M sticky on the button would not adhere to my case because my case is not a smooth surface

I followed the directions and picked a flat surface, cleaned it with the provided wipe, the waited for it to dry and then glued the magnet to the dash

SURFACE MUST BE EXTREMELY CLEAN to adhere.

Is a decent product but has to be mounted on a smooth surface

The only difficulty I ran into was finding a surface that was completely flat to mount the ball.

I tried to roughen the ball with 100 grit sandpaper at first but ended up using a stone bit on a drill to texture the ball surface enough to stabilize the phone’s weight

It is annoying to have it vulnerable to heat or human error due to lack of adequate surface preparation but the solid function of everything else makes it worth dealing with

I haven't tried scuffing the surface to give it more grip

I'm going to try to abrade the surface of the magnet with very fine sand paper and see if that helps

I cleaned the surface and installed the mount then had the issues of it keep falling off

I’ve cleaned the surfaces with the alcohol swab, and applied new adhesive patches included in the kit, but they fall off after a week or two

Make sure you have a plastic case and a smooth, flat surface on your dash at least the size of a quarter - and in a place your radio or A/C controls won't be blocked

The magnet is strong enough I mounted it vertically in my vehicle since it had a smooth surface to adhere to, with zero issues.

I did follow the instructions for making sure that the surface was clean and left the mounting ball attached and unused overnight once it was installed

I followed the instructions and mounted the steelie on a smooth surface in my car

I attached it to a clean, flat, smooth surface and both adhesive circles that came in the box failed to stick

Try a couple of spots to ensure that the mounting surface is completely flat and that, once mounted, your phone won't interfere with other controls.

Reattached to a smoother surfaced area and it fell off 24 hours later.

If you try to mount it on a vertical smooth plastic surface it will not support a phone like the gs7 edge

When I first put the mount in my vehicle I put in on a surface that the tape did not stick to very well, and after a couple weeks the mount fell off, but I found a different spot with a different (more smooth) surface and I have had no problems since!Installation:The installation of the Steelie was very simple, and the directions are very clear on the package

Also, try to find the smoothest surface you can

The idea of these magnetic mounts is great but the adhesive did not stick to the phone or my dash even with cleaning the surface with the provided alcohol pad

There just isn't enough surface area on the magnet

But with a flat surface works great

And yes, we did clean the surface prior to applying the sticky adhesive

The only thing I would add is a little rubber pad on the part that touches the back of the phone but it still works as it should with the way it is

We’ve tested both and mine doesn’t magnetize the things nearly as well as his

and now that I’m missing a

Once I did this everything works as
