Non dash damage advice

[hellorent]

Hi all,

Got a lease car and want to stick one of those mobile phone disks on the dash to
mount a mob phone holder, any suggestions for a glue/adhesive that wont mark or
damage the dash when removed, I was thinking of using a silicone sealer but don't know
if it will leave any marks

Any suggestions welcomed, it's a Audi A6 if that makes any difference.

No help to you, but I've long thought that car manufacturers should all be providing a smooth 3" circle moulded somewhere on the dash as standard.
I think drivers were saying similar about heaters/radios/seatbelts in the 60s/70s tbh so we must be patient, it might yet happen.

Maybe something like Sugru would do it. It's a kind of adhesive putty, which is removable.

An alternative solution is to get a rubber mat with the plastic circle in the middle. I use one in my van and it holds the Satnav perfectly.

If you stick it down for any amount of time it will likely affect the dash and also show some discolouring where UV effects the dash.

Go with a vent mounted clip on or similar and not something that will risk damaging the car.

That's seems like a contradiction, given that lots of cars have broken vent fins from those clips.

Can anyone recommend a vent mount that grips the sides of the vent, rather than the fins?
