Anyone got a suggestion for this one??

Most of the set ups I have seen have the head (or entire unit) mounted on the side of the overhead console. Mounting the head this way would only require two small holes drilled into the side and they would be covered by the supporting bracket.
You would also then have the small compartment available for.........sunnies:-)

If you wish to keep the head mounted where it is, you can use silicon sealant to stick the support bracket down, in place of the velcro. You will need to secure the bracket with masking tape until the silicon cures, but once done, heat will not affect it and should you need to remove the bracket and a later date, the bracket can be pulled off and the silicon cleaned off.

I have my remote head mounted in this way on the back facia of the centre console.

Google 3M and find if they have an outlet in your area.

You could ask these guys

They sell stuff called "twinlock" or "Dual Lock"

It is similar to velcro except the both pieces are the same, they have rows of little hooks and can be attached at right angles as well.

It comes in various grades and one of them is a high temperature grade.

I got mine in Brisbane and had a 3 1/2 in screen hanging from the roof console in my prev Patrol and it never fell off.

The guy told me they also use it for attaching Etoll tags to the windscreen in situations where it gets used in more than one vehicle.

Its expensive in relation to velcro but does work. About $15 a metre

I have had the screen mounted on a holder for 18 months now and it hasnt come loose. Also use it to attach the TPMS on the righthand air outlet for the last 15months.

Before you attach it clean the area thoroughly with meths or Isopropyl alcohol (get it at the chemist) and it will stick like ***** to a blanket.

Hows it going with the big exhaust.

Hi Andrew,
I have the same in my LC100.
3 years ago I fixed mine with quality 3M double sided tape.
Hasn't fallen yet.
