Has anyone got any suggestions on how to remove a Garmin GPS mounting bracket from the dashboard of a 100 LC which has been stuck on using the "permanent" adhesive pad. Garmin distributor in
Brisbane has no idea. One of their retail shops suggested using something which doesn't have a sharp blade, such as a
putty knife , rather than something sharp like a kitchen knife, to cut through the adhesive pad while pulling up on the bracket to expose the adhesive pad. Once I have the bracket off, I reckon the adhesive will clean off with methylated spirits. But somebody out there must have done it already.

Simon,
I didn't use the adhesive pad that came with my mount - used commercial two-sided tape on a roll (from Hardware Store) instaed - and I don't know if they are different in stick-ability!
However, I just pried the base off using gentle force and a paint scraper. Just concentrate on not wrecking your car - you wont be able to wreck the base. Then, as you say, the adhesive pad that remains can be worried off with metho.
Hope all goes
well.Cheers, Jim
