Carcam Mounting Adhesive Failure in Heat - Solution
installation
troubleshooting
car-cam
For those who have had trouble with the carcam not sticking to the windshield in the heat, I attached it to the windshield with suction cups. It is holding well after I have spent $40 in 3M and 2 other brands of double-sided mounting tape. I used a suction case designed for a cell phone (a silicone pad with suction cups on one side, adhesive on the flat side. I trimmed a piece to fit and adhered it to the camera. The suction cups work great. Don't spend money on tape.

    Hi @user49289. Thank you for sharing this DIY solution that worked for you! The heat can definitely wear down adhesives in some of the hotter states out there, so this may be a great alternative for some neighbors. :)

        Adding myself to the list of people who live in super hot climates. If anyone can clearly explain which types of adhesive or suction cups that work, please share !
