Just to update. I sourced an alternative sucker mount from amazon. One which would allow me to stick the Viofo A119 to the new sucker mount. Unfortunately, I wasn’t happy with the solution. The dashcam was still too visible by the driver in my opinion. I will be returning the new sucker mount to ...

I am tentative about sticking the GPS mount to the windscreen. How difficult is it to remove afterwards?
Has anyone come up with any “cunning” modified solutions to mount the Viofo A119 GPS mount on the windscreen without using the adhesive attached to the mount? Thanks
