POOR CHOICE
I selected this item to mount my Garmin to the dask of a 2009 F-250. I thought with the rose design I could mount it on a surface that wasn't quite flat. The petals on the unit are so stiff and the glue would not adhere to the dash.

WOULD NOT ADHERE TO SURFACE
Purchased a GPS mount and am very happy with it, but bought two of these bases and they would not adhere to the surface I needed. It was a hard plastic surface on the console of a boat. Purchasing the Ram base with ball instead. A better option in the end.

POOR ADHESIVE
POOR adhesive, would not stick to my dash. When I first saw this item I thought, What a great idea for the contour of your dash But the crappy adhesive would not stick to my dash, I cleaned my dash with alcohol prior to sticking the mount to my dash. My flat disk that came with my gps stuck to my dash quit well with only about 40 0/0 of the adhesive on the dash, doesn't look as good but works a lot better then the ram mount. of the adhesive Ram mount did not reply to my email.
Pros: didnt work
Cons: poor adhesive
Recommend: NO

RAP-350 FOLLOW UP
Tried another adhesive disk and this time gave it more than a week to 'set'. Same result as before, virtually no adhesion, nowhere near enough to support anything. Contacted the company and they had no solution to offer. Product is a write-off as far as I'm concerned.
Pros: good idea
Cons: adhesive doesn't work
Recommend: NO

ROSE PETAL MOUNT - A FLOWER WITHERED?
Like Phil, I couldn't get the 'flower petals' to retain a bend, so I e-mailed RAM about it. I was told "bend them further, they will bend and hold the position, if you break it I'll send you a new one". The good news is that I didn't manage to break it, but the bad news is, try as I might, the petals wouldn't retain any bend at all. I tried using mild heat (hot water and placing on a heating register) no better. Finally tried using a paint stripper heat gun and that worked. A hair drier might have been better (less intense heat) 'cause I came close to melting it!
Next the adhesive. Like Phil and Don, not much luck with this either, at least not so far. Followed the instructions, but a mild tug after the prescribed 24 hour cure period and it came off easily leaving just a bit of residue on the dash - very poor adhesion. Cleaned up the dash and am trying again, but after another 24 hrs it still doesn't look promising. I think it needs pressure during cure, but it's on a sloping surface, so that's out.
Finally the flat (suction surface). On mine the surface looks to have a number of imperfections, so I'm not sure whether it'll hold suction or not. If the adhesive ever grabs so I can mount my Nuvi to it, I'll report back.
Pros: good idea - the need is there
Cons: not so sure about the execution, poor instructions
Recommend: NO

NOT THOUGHT OUT
To start, the adhesive supplied is useless. It barely has enough tack to stick to itself. They really should have included a high tack adhesive.
The flat side is great. The suction of a mount adheres perfectly. The "flower" side is questionable. It is to stiff to conform to anything but a convex surface. I was trying to mount to a more concave spot and the plastic actually resisted the shape. Given this plus the poor adhesive made it unusable as I had planned.
But even when I attempted to mount to a convex surface, the adhesive couldn't hold it more than a second and the "flower" again was almost to stiff to conform to the shape of my dash.
I plan to try a little super glue or some such but haven't had the chance. I will see. Not that I have much faith unless I can heat the plastic enough to conform to my ideal convex spot. (I do not recommend heating plastic without proper ventilation.)
Pros: necessity to mount suction to anything other glass
Cons: useless for mounting to anything resistant to glue
Recommend: NO

BLACK ROSE ADHESIVE PLATE
I bought 4 of these to replace the weighted circle mount. The adhesive of the rose petals would not adhere solid enough to the sash to support a nuvi GPS. Also the same happened on my motorcycle fairing. There is another mount without the petals that I would sooner have had that sticks better.
