Velcro mounting
Does anyone use velcro to mount equipment in a vehicle? I've tried mounting my scanner and Sirius receiver but the velcro keeps melting off or just doesn't hold. Anyone have a good brand or type they recommend?
I have my GM300 on a mount that I can easily remove, but lost the bracket for my scanner. I want to mount them on top of each other, with the option to take it off if needed.

Even a small scanner mounted on the side of the console beneath the dash on the passenger side? I have a Bearcat BC350A.... and a Sirius Replay receiver... both are really small, less than 1 lb combined. I'll take a picture later today and post it and see if what I want to do is really a bad idea.
I know better than to mount a full size 40 watt mobile with velcro, that's screwed down.![:D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Mounting a mobile...or something...
In my Outback I have an IC208H control head mounted on
the inside of the windshield at the lower left (as you look out
to the front) using one of those suction cup thingies. Same
gadget is used on one of the side fixed windows for the
speaker. Here is the site and exact page:

The suction cups stay on for a couple of months and then
have to be "re-set" which involves some spit and about ten
seconds of work. You need a hard surface that's not porous
to make this system work. The manufacturer also makes
stick-on cups/brackets, etc.
