Default Dash Cam suction mount replaced

I got fed up remounting the suction cup of my wifes dashcam to the windshield so I decided to modify it by replacing the suction mount with 3M reclosable fasteners.
I determined that the body was an ABS type material as it dissolved with acetone, I then made a round disk out of 1/8” ABS sheet I had. Then removed the pin that held the rubber suction cup and lever to the dashcam mount.
I used acetone to mount the disk to the stripped mounting plate and when it had dried I stuck two 1.5" 3M fasteners onto the disk.
Now I just have to clean the windshield with alcohol, remove the tape over the glue on the fasteners that attach to the windshield, position the camera correctly hand press into place.

I recommend that everyone has a dash cam, mind you if you cause the accident it will come back to haunt you if you do not remove the chip and lose it. 😉 If the other car has a dash cam you are screwed anyway.
I have dash cam in my CF and will put one that faces to the rear in as well, I will mount it on the frame of the OEM trunk cover, it could go on the top of the bulkhead but the frame is handy.

Easy Peasy.
