Mounting a Portable Navigation System? I just got this bad boy.
It comes with a crazy little suction cup mounting contraption. lol I got a decent spot for it. But it does cut off some visibility while youre driving. (under the rear view mirror, close to the dash). I wanted to know if anyone else has mounted one of these in some "creative" way, but so it still works (needs to be close to glass for gps). I figured because of the t-tops it might be a bit more flexible in its positioning, however the suction cup only works on so many surfaces.
I had a clever little idea of maybe cutting out part of the dash above the 3 AC vents and somehow mounting it in there to flip up so I can keep it out of the way when i dont need it. What do you all think?

Not neccessarily. I'm talking about the top of the dash. Im just not sure if the nav is too deep so that if it could sit flush without hitting anything, mainly the A/C. Not to mention, it might be a bit costly to have it done. Maybe down the road, but its not worth it for me now...
:rofl: Yeah huh? That'd be one bad *** monster cowl hood.
