QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • What surfaces is this suction cup compatible with?

    Suction cups work by creating a vacuum, so they require an extremely smooth surface. If the surface is textured at all air can get in and the suction cup with loose grip. Suction cup mounts work best against windows and highly polished metal surfaces.

  • Is the RAM® Twist-Lock™ Suction Cup Base with Ball compatible with a Garmin striker 4 plus?

    No, we would suggest RAM-101-G4

  • What is the overall height?

    The overall height is approximately 2.992" from the top of the ball to the rubber of the suction cup.

  • I need the replacement pins that go inside this piece. How can I get them?

    Please fill out our warranty for a replacement : Warranty | RAM® Mounts - RAM Mounts

  • Do these work inside cold storage rooms or at low temperatures in general?

    The RAP-B-224-1U will maintain its hold in any environment that you'd be driving, but sudden temperature changes can cause the suction cup to lose hold. If that happens, just place the suction cup back on the windshield and re-engage the Twist Lock.

Reading part numbers

The letter after RAM tells you the ball size: RAM-B-166 uses a 1" B ball, while RAM-D-201 uses a 2.25" D ball. C size parts are the exception and carry no letter, so RAM-201U is a C size arm.
