Dashboard phone mount question

Want to mount my phonemount on the dash instead of the windshield . Do these pads ruin the dash over time if I decide to remove it later ? Thanks in advance .

 

I had an iOttie phone mount on my dash with that exact sticky pad for ~1yr and just took it off. It didn't "ruin" anything, but I can clearly see where it was stuck. I think it's a combination of no sun hitting that spot and the rest of the dash being kinda dusty. Not a deal breaker, but over time I could see it becoming more of a contrast.

I switched to the DMM.....way cleaner look, way sturdier. Just got a 17mm to 25mm RAM ball adapter on Amazon for like $6 to make the iOttie mount fit the RAM arm. Super happy i did it.

sticky on plastic. but it would depend how ya remove the residue later that would matter really.

 

@hdnightster2010

I specifically bought from @FreshMexicanTaco (the DMM maker)
Dashtop Multi Mount... 1ea @ $50.00 (pretty sure it was on sale at the time)
1" Ball mount with bolt and bushing for DMM...1ea @ $10.00
Small dual 1" socket Arm...1ea @ $8.00

and then to make the iOttie phone mount work, this adapter on Amazon

$5 ARKON Mounts 25mm Ball to 17mm Ball Adapter SP25MM17

went from:


to this (and you can kinda see the circle from where the sticky pad used to be):


whole thing turned out great. One of the best mods out there.

hope that helps
