Opinions on the Quad Lock line of phone holders

[SSinGA]

Obviously an Aussie company or somewhere in Europe. He's driving on the wrong side of the road and from the wrong seat.

I've never had any luck with adhesives on any surfaces of a Jeep interior. It's always failed, even the top of the line 3M stuff.

I stuck a Ram ball on the dash of my JKU at least 5 years ago with 3M VHB double sided tape and it is still very solid. Plan to do the same with the JT.

Clean with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and warm the tape and bonding surfaces with a heat gun (or live in the south and perform on a summer day!)

Done all that. I know how to do all that and have for many years.
Two different JTs, the 3M tape (I buy 3M stuff from body shop supply houses by the roll) holding accessory cubbies let loose. I know how to do it, it just never stuck to the plastics in my Jeeps.
I even have primer wipes and other stuff on hand besides the 91% I keep in my shop just for that purpose.
I have rolls of the tape I use to put trim back onto cars after restoration and paint. It never ever lets go of the trim on the outside. I used the same process to put the trim back on my show car in 2013 and to this day if I find a NOS piece of trim I want to replace my other trim with, I almost have to destroy the trim to get it off the car - almost a decade later exposed to sun and car washes.
The sill guards - that's another success story. Once they are stuck down only destroying them would remove them. But that's a very smooth, non-porous surface in that case, and it bonds like crazy.

But the interior parts like the console areas - that vinyl appears to be letting lose of some of the oils and gasses used in manufacturing. Nothing I've tried sticks to it.

I use a Bulletpoint mount. I like the Quad Lock but I didn't want to be limited to a particular phone case.

PS - which part number is that?

Here are a couple of pics. The airport parking garage doesn't have the best lighting. Happy to take more tomorrow if you need them.

My rule while driving - look but don't touch. I have enough issues with ADHD (severe) that I had to long ago set rules for myself that turned into habit.

I thought ADHD didnt exist for your generation? /s

I use a Quad Lock on my Pixel 6, mainly for my motorcycle. It is the solid twist mount, no tape or magnet. I love it.

Not sure how I feel about the tape or magnet though.

Case is not thick. It is very nice and has saved my phone from drops multiple times.

Ignorance of something doesn't make it not exist. Was mentioned in texts dating back at least 200 years. It took the Aussies and Canadians.
(U.S. mental health and in many ways, medicine in general, is so lame)

Here we go…

Why? Are you a big pharma conspiracy person? Hope not as an RN.

Why would you think that?

Ok ladies, back on topic...

Op requested long term usage and legit feedback

I've had quadlock in my LJ and XR650 for years. And my mountain bike. Works wonderfully! No suction cup, only hard mounts.

I'm happy with the case protection too.

Here's pictures of my setup in the JT

Using proclip mounts, which have an amps hole pattern, and the 4 hole quad lock base with motorcycle knuckle adapter and wireless charging head.

Very slick to use. Not a fan of magnets or stickies. Although the magnets are reported to work pretty well.

Ignore the passenger phone mount. Amazon special for my passengers. I find the friction ball mounts (especially the cheap ones) move around and I dislike that.

I love Quadlock... I have the mounts on my motorcycles, as well as my bicycle.

I literally just ordered the bulletpoint mount 5 minutes before seeing this thread. I plan to use the bullet point with ball adapter and marrying it to the bulletpoint.
I just ordered a their new thinner case with the magsafe ring thingie, as well as the vibration dampener. The ride in the Jeep is obviously not as smooth as our minivan, so I think the vibration dampener is a good add on.

 

[Sank]

I have the vibe dampener on my XR650, but it appears to be made for the v-twin guys that have super serious vibration problems (like i enjoyed on my Buell years ago). You don't want/need the vibration dampener on a big vehicle. It's for high frequency vibes, not big jolts.

I like the positive retention of the phone.....but only having a universal suction cup mount or a double back tape mount bothers me. Any long term users here with legit feedback?


Quad Lock mount

I have been using quadlock for a couple years. The suction cup mount has never come loose, in fact its hard to remove when dial is loosened to take it off. I also added the wireless charging head to it. I use their universal mount, 1/4-20 tripod mount, armband for walking, waist belt clip which also works on backpack straps, etc.

The QuadLock suction cup mount works really, really well. I've used it on a race track and subjected it to serious g-forces and vibration, and it hasn't come loose yet.
