Why is a spare 3M adhesive pad included?
Each Dash Cam comes with an extra 3M adhesive window pad for flexibility. Use it to reposition your Dash Cam or install it in a different vehicle without ordering a replacement.
How does this reduce environmental impact?
Including the spare pad upfront reduces the need for future shipments. Fewer shipments mean less packaging waste and a lower carbon footprint.
Does this help minimise packaging waste?
Yes, providing the spare pad from the start cuts down on individual shipments. This lowers the overall environmental impact of delivery.

Extra tips
Clean the windshield thoroughly with alcohol wipes before applying a new adhesive pad for the strongest bond.
Store the spare pad in a cool, dry place until needed to maintain its stickiness.
Apply firm pressure for 30 seconds when attaching the pad to ensure it holds securely.
To remove an adhesive pad, use dental floss or thin fishing line to gently work behind the pad and lift it off the surface.
Troubleshooting
If the adhesive pad does not stick well, remove all residue from the old pad and clean both surfaces thoroughly.
If the Dash Cam wobbles after reattaching, check that the pad is fully flat against the glass with no air bubbles.
After removing an adhesive pad, use a high-alcohol-content cleaner (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) on a microfiber cloth to clean off any remaining residue.
