This product is well built, and perfectly fit on the back of my GPS model. Only problemI had to push so stinking hard to get the round opening to fit over the ball on my GPS non-skid dash-pad holder that I broke the plastic arm that connects to the suction cup. (Very irritating) I would take all the blame, and give it 5-stars, but I don't see why was it had to be so stinking hard to get it to just ""snap"" onto the standard-size GPS ball mount. This product still swivels, and seems to fit perfectlyso I don't think I forced a smaller product onto a bigger ball. Now I just need to replace the part I mounted it to Regardless: I would buy this product again - but I would just suggest others watch where they apply force to their mount.

Fit my Garmin Drive 50 perfectly, a great replacement for my cracked and broken original. Both the part where it mounts on the Garmin and the ball joint fit, the ball joint was a bit 'tight', but that also means it is less likely to come off after it is snapped on. Overall, I'm impressed with the fit for the low price.

I read several of the reviews here saying that these mount brackets were too big / too small andwon't attach to most Garmin GPS displays. Seeing as Garmin does not sell this part separately Idecided to buy a couple of these brackets and see if I could make them fit my own Garmin so thatwe can transfer it between our cars using separate mounts. To solve the problem of the top tab(too thick) not fitting into the slots on the back of the GPS display I thinned the bracket And tab by lapping the ring on a flat surface with a sheet of 100 grit sandpaper. Sand a little ofthe plastic off and check the fit on the display. Do a little bit at a time and keep checkinguntil it slips into place - but snug not sloppy. You also need to tie the latch back to hold itwhile sanding so you don't accidentally sand off the latch hook. I used a small plastic (zip/wire)tie.I also trimmed the underside of the latch (just slightly) with a needle file to make sure thehook on the latch went fully into its slot on the display, to get full contact and a securehold.Finally I shaved the inside diameter of the 4 tabs on the ball socket of the bracket with ahobby knife (just a little at a time) and checking the fit after each trim. A small sanding drumon a Dremel tool would work too. The ball on the Garmin mounts have a 17mm diameter. Thediameter across the tabs on my factory Garmin bracket is slightly less than 17mm. The Chinesebrackets I got had an inner diameter of only 16mm. Too small to fit over the ball withoutbreaking it. After shaving down the 4 tabs a bit it snaps onto the ball and holds securely justlike the factory bracket. Just go slow and make sure you don't remove too much material. Keepchecking the fit often as you work.For the price of these brackets and a little time to modify them, it's worth it to me sinceGarmin won't supply these parts as accessories.

Bought as a spare cradle for my Garmin 1490, and it fits correctly, by snapping over the unit, just like the OEM bracket. It seems to hold tight on the ball mount, and will allow me to use in a different vehicle, and not keep dismounting the suction cup part from the windshield, when using in multiple vehicles.It was originally bought, because I forgot to take the OEM off the windshield of a car I was driving. I thought it was lost, but 2 weeks later after purchasing this as a replacement, I found it was still attached to the car's windshield when I went back to pick it up.
