Hello everyone, new to the forum and new to Viofo.
I've just purchased an A229 and was a bit surprised to find that the GPS sensor is supposed to be glued to the windshield.
Not really an issue except that during the last two long road trips (3500 miles and 2200) my windshield had to be replaced due to thrown up rocks. Statistically unlikely to have it happen twice in fairly quick successionm, but there you go.
The existing dash cam was simply a question of removing the sucker contraption and transferring it to the new shield - two minutes on a slow day.
Regluing with sticky pads would have been a different deal entirely, assuming I had a spare pad 2000 miles from home. I'm debating adapting one of the better suction devices in place of the glue pad - did that for my radar detector which used to fall off very couple of weeks and now it is 100% solidly in place yet removes in seconds.
Thoughts, anyone?
