====================================================================
It Can Be
Attached To The Seat Bolt In Some Cases !!
These work in ANY vehicle, The kit we sell you works right out of the box in 90 % of
installs
If The Hole in The Flange is Too Small For Your Seat Bolt, You Can "Drill it
Out" to the Bolt Size
You Can Also Add a 90 Degree Elbow and attach it to the "side" of The Chair ( or
something )

Will It Be In The Way Of My Passenger, Console,
Shifter, Or Anything Else?
We look at it like this: If you have a smaller car, Or ANY size car...
If you can hold the laptop in a place you want it to
be without blocking anything (seat, console, shifter etc..)
Then you can make this mount go to that spot, The reason being, Every length from 1 inch
to 36 inches is at your local Home Depot or Lowes
The parts are VERY cheap, You can grab a few assorted pieces and then return what you
don't use, They just screw together
Keep in mind, The Basic Kit we send you works good in most installs
There is No Other Mount that can be modified On The Spot to any shape you want Like
this mount
Just by looking at the pictures on our website you can see all the shapes people have made
by adding elbows and short pieces
There are 2 kinds of elbows, 90 degree and 45 degree
Remember The Rule: If You Can Hold Your Laptop
In a Place That's Not in The Way Of Anything
Then You Can Get This Mount To That Spot By Adding a Few Cheap Parts!!
When you find the spot to mount the floor flange and put your mount together, Lets say
it's 2 inches away from your "sweet spot"
With our mount you simply unscrew lets say the 5 inch piece and go get a 7 inch piece for
like $1.00 and screw it in
You can't do that with the other mounts
We design it this way for 2 reasons:
1) Because we want you to be able to make the mount ANY SHAPE YOU WANT TO, RIGHT ON THE
SPOT
2) Because it is VERY STRONG and Very Cheap

Yes Ours Can Be Made To Swivel
1) It can swivel from the Top (The Most Common Way To Swivel, this works ok if you don't
have the top adjusted slanted too much)
Take your time and look here:
http://www.mobilelaptopmount.com/pic/chevtracker/chevtracker.htm
Another example:
http://www.mobilelaptopmount.com/pic/chev1/chev1.htm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) It can swivel from the QD ( this works ok in most cases even if you have the top
slanted)
But depends on where you install the QD and how you angle the rest of the arm
Take your time and look here:
http://www.mobilelaptopmount.com/pic/p3car/p3car.htm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) You can also create an "offset" by adding two 90 degree elbows and a short
piece ($3 at Home Depot)
With an "offset" you get the most movement

Widescreen Laptop?
The top of our basic mount is about 12 X 12 (just measure between your rubber feet)
People do use the basic mount with 17" Laptops SOMETIMES
You have to make sure the laptop will sit between the two feet, not cocked one foot up and
one foot off
You also have to make sure sitting between the rubber feet won't block any air holes
Keep in Mind We do sell a widescreen model in our ebay
store
Click Here: http://stores.ebay.com/MOBILE-LAPTOP-MOUNT/
OR We have another Very Easy solution !!
Go to Radio Shack (or a hardware store) and buy a pack of "stick on" rubber
feet,
try to get the size that are similar to your laptop's own feet
Stick them on the bottom of your laptop so they support it on the mount
It should work Very Well!! (I had to do this with my 17 inch DELL)
Remember, You will still have "over hang" like pictured here: http://www.mobilelaptopmount.com/pic/wide/wide.htm

I Want To Use This Mount in 2 Vehicles or
2 Places Can I Do That With a QD?
You need 2 QD's to move from one Vehicle to another
When we see you buy 2 QD's we throw in an extra floor flange for free
(You could buy one combo deal and then one QD)
We sell them on ebay here: http://stores.ebay.com/MOBILE-LAPTOP-MOUNT
(KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ANGLE ON THE ARM HAS TO BE THE SAME IN BOTH PLACES)
You could just buy another arm yourself and use a QD at the TOP to MOVE The Tray
You can get the parts for the arm from any home center
(Home Depot, Lowes) They cost about $8, And just screw together, No problem

Can I Attach This In My Cup Holder?
Most Cup Holders Have a Removable Liner, You Just Take That Out And Screw it into the cup
holder or make a mold of the cup holder
If your cup holder is about 3 inches in diameter at the
bottom,
You just sit the round floor flange into the cup holder and screw it to the bottom of the
cup holder,
When you sell the car just remove the round flange and put a small round liner in the
bottom of the cup holder
(if you car does not have a liner you can make one to put in)
The Flange We Send You Is About 3 Inches Around

Is This Mount FLEXIBLE? (can I bend it
to any shape)
No, there is no such mount (for any amount of money), being in a moving car
The first time you hit the brakes it would "Flex"
into your dash
If you buy the $300 "JOTTO Desk" or "RAM" mount it has some movement That
is dependable
The problem with movement is creating a "wear out" point (being the constant
stress of G force in the car)
Most of the guys on ebay that offer cheap mounts that "move" use some sort of "set
screw"
These Set Screw points wear out Very Quick And then the mount needs to be replaced
Please Take Some Time and Read This info: Yes ours can be made to swivel
1) It can swivel from the Top (The Most Common Way To Swivel, this works ok if you don't
have the top adjusted slanted too much)

Will The Vibration of a Moving Vehicle
Hurt My Hard Drive?
As Far As "shock" or Hard Drive Damage, That's Just Silly, Hard Drives Are Made
To Withstand About 65 G, 2 ms (read); 20 G, 2 ms (write)
We sell over 200 of these a week (for over 7 years on ebay) There has NEVER
been an email about any kind of Hard Drive Damage
I am a tech with 25 years in computers, I am 48
We feel it's a bit over stated (they said the same thing about watching music videos and
movies from the Hard Drive Years ago)
That it would burn out the HD from too much access, We have watched TONS of video on the
laptop
I have been using my Laptops in the car for over 7 years no problems

USPS Tracking Says You Have Not
Actually Mailed My Mount Yet !!
If You Get a Message Like This:
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on XXXXXXX to expect
your package for mailing.
This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status
information will be provided if
when available. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again
later.
That's because the USPS does not scan them in anymore, we
don't like the new policy
(THE USPS Say "It's Not Tracking, It's Delivery Conformation" To Prove Delivery)
I would suggest you email them and complain about it
We Gave Them The Package On The Date In Your Shipping eMail
We ship on Tuesday and Friday at 10 AM eastern, the other days we
are Very Busy with the week's production runs
If you buy a mount by 8PM eastern time the night before we ship (Monday or Thursday night)

You Didn't Include The 4 SCREWS ?
What Type Of Screws Should I Use?
If You Don't Use The Seat Bolt, There are 4 screw holes in the part that attaches to the
floor,
You can use "Sheet Metal Screws" or For Added Protection Use "Nuts and
Bolts" (Drag Racers, Off Roaders, Powerline Inspectors, etc)
It depends on the car, WE CAN NOT DECIDE FOR YOU The Person
Who Installs It Would Have To Decide
Most People Just Use "Self Tapping Screws" To Attach The Mount To The Floor (use
REAL self Tapping screws with the built in "drill tip" on the screw)
Use The "Fatest" Screw That Will Fit Through The Hole In The Floor Flange
(Largest Diameter) It Should Be About 1 1/.2 to 2 inches Long (IN MOST CASES)
Just Use a Drill With a Screw Bit (or socket) And "Shoot" The Screws In

====================================================================
I Don't Want "Holes" In My
Car !!
If You Can't Use The Seat Bolts It's Not A Big Deal As Most People Fear, The
"holes" Are So Small
If You Ever Remove The Mount In Most Cases The Carpet Can "Hide" The Holes
NOTE: Some People Have Told Me They Use a Piece Of Wood On The Floor
and then Screw The Mount To That !!
(They Secure The Wood To The Floor In Many Different Ways, From Attaching a Heavy Weight
To The Wood, OR Wedging It Under The Seat)

Buying In Bulk For A Large Company (or
reselling)
We already sell them as cheap as we can, you can easily mark them up to make a profit
We sell these in bulk to Verizon, Comcast, and Power Companies all the time (100 units at
a time)
We can only ship one mount per box, BUT it works out good because you can just hand a box
to an installer and he is good to go.
Two Things:
1) We recommend you try one mount and make sure you are happy with the design
2) For sales over $200 you have to mail us a check (or you can pay for 4 mounts at a
time with Paypal, buying 4 mounts as many times in a row as you need)
(Paypal requires us to make you sign for anything over $245)
We have the same limit on the credit cards from the website, AND we can only do one sale
at $200 with a credit card
Paying with a check or Paypal we will give you the ebay price (the credit card price is
more)
