AEVFCY Dash Cam Adhesive Pads

Updated October 22, 2026. Based on the Amazon listing and owner reviews, not a hands-on test.

Quick verdict: The AEVFCY 4pcs Dash Cam Adhesive Sticky Pads are replacement mounting pads for anyone whose dash cam, GPS, or phone mount has fallen off the windshield, or who is moving a camera to a new car. The kit includes prep pads and adhesion promoter, which is what makes the difference between a pad that holds and one that drops off in the first heat wave. The catch is that the hold depends almost entirely on how carefully you prep and how long you let the adhesive cure, and there are only a small number of reviews so far, so treat early feedback with caution.

Who should buy it (and who should skip it)

Good fit if you

• Have a dash cam mount whose original adhesive has failed, dried out, or been used up by a move.
• Are moving a camera, GPS, or phone mount to a different vehicle and need fresh pads.
• Use a round mount, a suction-cup base that won't stay put, or an odd-shaped mount you can trim a pad to fit.

Skip it if you

• Need a mount you can pull off and reattach every day. Adhesive pads are meant to stay in place.
• Want a warranty. The listing says plainly that there is none.
• Have a mount base much larger than 2.2 inches (56mm) and don't want to stack or trim pads.
• Can't wait the recommended 24 hours before hanging a device on the pad.

Key specs at a glance

What it does well

Comes with the prep supplies most replacement pads leave out

Many cheap replacement pads come as bare tape. This kit pairs each pad with a prep (cleaning) pad and an adhesion promoter. Adhesion promoter is a primer that helps pressure-sensitive adhesive bond to glass and plastic, and it is the step most people skip when a dash cam falls off. Having one of each for every pad means you don't need to buy cleaning supplies separately.

A heat rating aimed at summer windshields

The listing rates the pads for temperatures up to 150°C and also calls them cold resistant. That matters because the windshield behind the rearview mirror is one of the hottest spots in a parked car. Heat is the most common reason dash cam adhesive softens and lets go, so a pad built for high temperatures is the right kind of product for this job. We can't verify the 150°C figure independently, so treat it as the maker's rating.

Works with many mounts

The listing says the pads are made to fit common dash cam mounts and names brands including Vantrue, Rexing, Garmin, Rove, Roav, Nextbase, Viofo, Red Tiger, Thinkware, Apeman, and BlackVue, for single-channel and dual-channel units. It also lists round suction cup bases, non-circular mounts, and rear-view cameras. The 56mm round size covers many standard mount bases. You can trim the pad with scissors for smaller or odd-shaped bases.

A tab that makes the backing easier to peel

Peeling the backing off small adhesive pads is fiddly, and touching the adhesive with your fingers weakens it. The listing describes a rounded-rectangle tab on the red backing that you can lift with a tool, which helps you avoid touching the sticky surface and lets you line up the mount before it touches the glass.

Early owner feedback

The sample of ratings we pulled was mostly five-star, with one four-star and one three-star. The review text wasn't available in our data, and the total review count is still small, so this is an early signal and not a settled verdict. Check recent reviews on the listing for reports from hot climates in particular.

Common complaints and limitations

We couldn't see the text of the lower-rated reviews, so these points come from the listing and from how adhesive mounting pads behave in general.

• The hold depends on prep. Even good adhesive fails on a dusty, oily, or cold windshield. If you skip cleaning or the promoter, or hang the camera right away, expect it to come loose.
• Removing it takes time. The listing warns against peeling the pad off by force and recommends gentle heat and a tool instead. If you mount it in the wrong spot, you'll spend a pad and some time fixing it.
• Each pad is single-use. After you remove a pad, replace it with a new one. Four pads go quickly if you reposition the camera a few times.
• Heavy devices may need two pads stacked. The listing suggests stacking two adhesives for large or heavy recorders. That uses up your supply twice as fast and adds a little thickness.
• "No residue" depends on technique. The listing calls removal residue-free when you use heat and patience. Removal by force, or old glass with a worn coating, can still leave adhesive behind.
• Few reviews and no warranty. With a short review history and no warranty listed, you're relying mostly on the maker's claims.

Setup and everyday use

Surface prep

The listing's steps start with cleaning, and that step decides whether the pad holds. Use the included prep pad to clean both the windshield spot and the bottom of the mount, then let both dry completely. Get all the old adhesive off the mount first. A plastic scraper and a little rubbing alcohol usually handle leftover tape.

Work in mild temperatures if you can. Adhesive bonds poorly to very cold glass, so on a winter day run the defroster for a few minutes first, then let any condensation clear before you apply anything.

Applying the pad

1. Wipe the adhesion promoter onto the mount surface and let it flash dry for a moment.
2. Peel the yellow film off one side of the pad and press it onto the mount. The listing says to press for at least 30 seconds.
3. Hold the mount up to the windshield to check the position and the camera's view before you remove the red film.
4. Use a tool to lift the tab and peel the red film, then press the mount firmly onto the glass.
5. Wait at least 24 hours before attaching the camera or other device, per the listing.

Before you commit, check the angle with the camera's live view or app. Repositioning means removing the pad, which uses one up.

Placement

Most people put the mount behind the rearview mirror, where it stays out of the driver's line of sight. Avoid the dotted frit band along the edge of the glass if your mount needs a flat, smooth surface.

Removal

The listing's advice is to warm the pad gently, then work it off with a tool, not by pulling. A hair dryer on low or a sunny afternoon is usually enough. Fishing line or dental floss slid behind the mount can cut through softened adhesive. Wipe off any remaining residue with rubbing alcohol before you apply a new pad.

How it compares

Versus the original pad from your dash cam maker: OEM replacement pads are cut exactly to your mount, but some brands don't sell them on their own or ship them without promoter. This kit is a general-purpose option that includes prep supplies and can be trimmed to fit.

Versus suction cup mounts: Suction cups are easy to move, but they can loosen with temperature swings and often fall off in summer. A well-prepped adhesive pad holds steadier, which helps cut down on video shake. The tradeoff is that it isn't meant to be moved.

Frequently asked questions

Will these pads fit my dash cam mount?

The pads are round and 2.2 inches (56mm) across, and the listing says they suit mounts from brands such as Vantrue, Rexing, Garmin, Nextbase, Viofo, Thinkware, and BlackVue. Measure your mount base. You can trim the pad with scissors to fit smaller or non-round bases.

How long should I wait before attaching the dash cam?

The listing says to wait at least 24 hours after mounting before using it. This gives the adhesive time to bond fully to the glass.

Can these pads handle summer heat on the windshield?

The listing rates them for temperatures up to 150°C and also calls them cold resistant. Careful surface prep with the included cleaning pad and adhesion promoter matters as much as the rating does.

How do I remove the pad without leaving residue?

Don't pull it off by force. Warm the pad gently, for example with a hair dryer, then work it loose with a plastic tool or floss. Clean any leftover adhesive with rubbing alcohol and apply a fresh pad.

Can I use them for a heavier dash cam or a phone mount?

Yes, according to the listing, which mentions phone mounts, GPS units, and tablet mounts. For large or heavy recorders, it suggests stacking two pads for more holding power.

What comes in the package?

Four grey 2.2-inch adhesive pads, four prep pads, four adhesion promoters, and an instruction card.

Bottom line

The AEVFCY 4pcs Dash Cam Adhesive Sticky Pads are a simple fix for a mount that keeps falling off, and the included prep pads and adhesion promoter give you a better chance of a lasting hold than bare tape. With a heat rating meant for windshields, a trimmable round shape, and four sets in the box, they cover most reinstalls. Follow the clean, prime, press, and 24-hour wait steps, keep in mind the short review history and lack of a warranty, and they should do the job.
