Tyrepal sticky pad?

[acropolis22]

This is going to sound a bit daft. With the Tyrepal kit, they give you a fairly substantial sticky pad. No instructions, but presumably to mount the monitor unit somewhere on the dashboard. Fair enough. But I've read somewhere, I think on the Tyrepal website, that they don't recommend leaving the monitor in the sun for lengthy periods. (It's solar powered). But if you mount it with their sticky pad, surely that is permanent isn't it? It doesn't look like it will peel off and remount.

Anyone with any experience of this?

It's a weird kind of sticky. It sticks but doesn't leave a sticky residue. You can move it about and stuff with out leaving a mark.

It's a dry none-stick pad.
Both sides are reluctant to slip.
It works well to keep the tyrepal monitor stationary on the top of a dash while driving.
But when the pad gets dusty, it is not very effective at staying put.
Wipe or wash the dust off. Store it in the glovebox, etc.

The Tyrepal monitor I move off the dash and put in the overcab area. There it's only getting morning sun.
Never had it run flat in approx. 2yrs.
When it's in use and on the none-slip pad, it's charging.

The pad is extremely sticky and an effort to remove. Can be washed of under the tap to get rid of the dust, and this seems to reenergise the sticky-ness. I agree it would be a pain to keep removing. Mine stays on the dash and is never removed (non-solar).

I didn't peel anything off and it's just like one of those non slip phone pads. Tyrepal lives on top of pop up holder.

OK, thanks everyone. It's a new one on me. Guess I'll just stick it on and see what happens when I want to take the monitor out of the sun. Perhaps I'll just throw a duster over it.....

It's easy to attach & remove - if the pad gets any dust on it that reduces how well it sticks but a quick rinse under the tap & air dry then as good & sticky as new again

Leave ours on the dash it's only in the sun when the blind is up.

We were the same with ours and then had to move it - what a job!!!!! I ended up using a syringe of water to push between the pad and the dash and then the pad and the unit.
