A couple of years ago, I purchased a SG9665GC (from pier28? via amazon)... this was back when the CPL was a brand new thing and I had to order it separately. Anyway, a year ago (early March, so nearly exactly a year ago) I had my windshield replaced and the installer was able to salvage the thin camera mount, but the cable tray part broke, so I ordered a replacement cable tray. I had enough spare 3M tape in the original kit to remount everything.
As (bad) luck would have it, I again have to have my windshield replaced. (I guess the end of Feb / beginning of March is a rocky time of year.) This time, I don't have enough spare 3M tape to remount anything, and the cable tray should probably be replaced as the clips that hold the top seem to have warped inwards (preventing them from holding the two parts together without using the screw.) I see on amazon I can order a thin plate mount as one part (that seems to come with 1 piece of 3M tape), and the same old cable tray as a different part (and I'm not sure if that comes with the 3M tape or not - the product description doesn't state either way.) I _also_ need a piece of tape for mounting the GPS (but I don't see that on amazon.)
Is there something where I can order both parts together - along with the tape for the GPS? (Is there any better option for the cable tray - perhaps one that lasts more than a year without requiring a screw to hold it together?)
As a side note, I find it somewhat amusing that in 2 years I've gone through 2 windshields, but the dashcam is working perfectly. I usually expect electronics to fail long before windshields.
Take care
