Surface Mounting Considerations
Garmin® strongly recommends having an experienced installer with the proper knowledge of installations and waterproofing install the mount. Incorrectly installing the mount can result in damage to the vehicle or the camera.
Failure to heed the installation considerations could result in damage to the camera or the vehicle. Garmin is not responsible for any damage caused to the camera or vehicle during installation or as a result of the camera mount detaching from the vehicle.
You can use screws to secure the camera to your vehicle in areas other than a roll bar.
When selecting a mounting location and attaching the mount with screws, observe these considerations.
-
You must choose a suitable mounting location for the camera before drilling holes in the vehicle. You should verify the camera view from the mounting location provides the desired visibility. You must also verify the mounting surface allows the mount to be securely connected and the mounting screws will not interfere with interior wiring or vehicle features.
-
You must use proper mounting screws for your vehicle's external mounting surface. The included mounting screws are intended for installation only on vehicles with a fiberglass or plastic exterior, and they should not be used for vehicles with an aluminum exterior, or any other material. Before installing the screws, you must verify the screws are the correct length and will not damage any interior components.
-
For some vehicles, you must fully seal the screws, holes, and mount with outdoor waterproofing sealant to prevent water from entering the vehicle or the vehicle shell.
