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 How do I replace and install adhesive pads for Nextbase dashcam mounts? Replacing and installing adhesive pads for your Nextbase dashcam mount is a straightforward process that ensures your dashcam remains securely attached to your windshield. Follow these steps for optimal results: Step 1: Remove the Old Adhesive Pad
Peel off the old pad: Start by lifting a corner of the adhesive pad.
Use dental floss or fishing line: Slide it behind the pad and use a gentle sawing motion to separate it from the surface. This minimizes damage to the mount or windshield.
Clean the surface: Remove any leftover residue using a high-alcohol cleaner, such as isopropyl alcohol, and a microfiber cloth. Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry before proceeding. Step 2: Prepare for Installation
Choose the right location: Select a smooth, clean section of the windshield, ideally behind the rear-view mirror for an unobstructed view. Avoid dotted or uneven areas.
Clean the windshield: Use alcohol wipes to remove any residue or moisture that could weaken the adhesive bond. Let the glass dry completely. Step 3: Install the New Adhesive Pad
Attach the pad to the mount: Align the new adhesive pad with the mount and press firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure full contact and eliminate air bubbles.
Mount to the windshield: Position the mount with the adhesive pad attached onto the cleaned windshield. Apply firm, even pressure for another 30 seconds to secure the bond.
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.
Choose the right location: behind the rear-view mirror for an unobstructed view, and avoid dotted or uneven areas.
Temperature considerations: ensure the windshield and mount are not cold or damp during installation, as this can weaken the adhesive bond.
Allow time to set: avoid applying stress to the mount immediately after installation to allow the adhesive to set properly.
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.
If the adhesive pad does not stick securely despite following these steps, it may be compromised. Consider replacing the pad again or using a new mount.
