Catch a gadget if the suction pad on the screen fails
Various devices fixed to holders secured on the windscreen with a suction pad can fall - often if the weather changes from dry cold to moist warmer conditions, with bright subshine on the screen. Then on getting into your car you will find the device and suction mount are on the floor or passenger seat. Dropping between two and three feet can cause damage to dashcams and satnavs.

Well here is a simle DIY solution to avoid the "big drop"! Just get a length of cotton thread and loop it round the arm securing the rear view mirror and then looped round the dashcam - when it does occasionally drop it will be left "dangling in suspenders". The suction pad can then be refixed. Seen from the driving position the dashcam is behind the rear view mirror so the cotton thread is not visible - using a black thread can reduce the visibility of the loop of cotton thread.

Note; I see I need to update the date and time on my dashcam!
