oh yeah… didn’t think about the wiper zone. I’m going to have to check that! In a few months the area above the wipers will be mud and sleet until May.To get the best results adhering 3M VHB to glass is:
1) Make sure the glass temperature is not too hot or cold. Temp controlled garage without direct sunlight is ideal.
2) press and hold firmly with at least 5lbs pressure for 30 seconds.
The bonding process is complete after 24 hours. Ideally, keep the windshield at moderate temperature during that time.
Obviously make sure the glass is clean and dry. If the camera falls off, note where the 3M remained. If the 3M stays on the windshield, then the bonding between the camera bracket and 3M was weak. If the 3M stays on the camera bracket, then the bonding with the glass was bad.
IMO, GPS is a must-have for a dash cam and the only option with the thermo glass is to have a dash cam with the GPS in the bracket and the camera lens protruding out to the right...but the camera lens should still be in the wiper zone.
