3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your Armor All Universal Phone Mount:
- Choose a Mounting Location: The mount can be attached to either your vehicle's dashboard or windshield. Ensure the chosen surface is clean and free of dust or debris.
- Prepare the Surface: For optimal suction, clean the chosen area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely. If mounting on a textured dashboard, use the provided dashboard adhesive base. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive base and firmly press it onto the desired dashboard location for at least 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before attaching the mount.
- Attach the Suction Cup: Remove the protective film from the suction cup of the phone mount. Press the suction cup firmly against the prepared surface (windshield or dashboard adhesive base).
- Engage the Locking Mechanism: While maintaining pressure on the suction cup, push down the locking lever located at the base of the mount to create a strong vacuum seal.
- Adjust the Arm and Holder: Loosen the adjustment knobs on the extendable arm and the phone holder to position them as desired. Tighten all knobs securely once the preferred angle and extension are achieved.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your phone mount:
- Clean the Suction Cup: Periodically clean the suction cup with warm water and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before re-attaching to any surface. This helps maintain its strong grip.
- Clean Surfaces: Always ensure the mounting surface (dashboard or windshield) is clean and dry before attaching the mount.
- Check Tightness: Regularly check that all adjustment knobs are securely tightened to prevent your phone from shifting during driving.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold can affect the material integrity of the mount.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your phone mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Problem: The suction cup does not hold firmly or falls off.
Solution: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Clean the suction cup with water and let it air dry. Make sure the locking lever is fully engaged after pressing the suction cup firmly onto the surface. If using on a textured dashboard, ensure the adhesive base is properly applied and cured. - Problem: Phone does not fit securely in the holder.
Solution: The adjustable grips are designed to fit devices up to 3.25 inches wide. Ensure your phone, with or without its case, falls within this dimension. Press the quick-release button to fully open the grips before inserting your phone. - Problem: The mount moves or sags after adjustment.
Solution: Ensure all adjustment knobs on the extendable arm and ball joint are tightened securely after positioning the mount and phone.
