Keep it simple
With all the discussion about RD mounts I'll share with you the easiest, simplest, cheapest, most easily removable and concealable solution I have found after 30 years of messing with these things. Buy a good quality, rubbery, non-slip (made for cell phones) dash pad for about $4 bucks max at Best Buy unless you can find one at the Dollar Store for $1. Provided you are not someone who's nuts about mounting the RD especially high on the wind screen this works the best IMHO. Put it on the dash near the windshield, forget the rubber suction cups and sliding metal brace thingy and all the other crap; snug (the RD) up against the glass on the no-slip pad and it won't move unless you run off the end of a bridge and roll the car up-side-down. It's easy to remove and hide the RD or put it back in place anytime and anywhere on the dash you prefer. When this (excellent, cheapo) mount wears out or you want separate ones for each of your six rides go buy a few more for a couple bucks each. You won't believe how much "RD MOUNTING" aggravation it saves.
