Comma Four Mirror Mount

[MontanaLightning]

Just wanted to share an update on my Comma Four install. I was not happy with the standard mounting options because they rely on 3M adhesive tape. I have ceramic tint on the windshield and the idea of risking that tint, or dealing with adhesive creep in the summer heat, was a non-starter for me.

My goal was to achieve that "FitcamX" factory-integrated look. I wanted it tucked right up to the mirror housing with a minimal footprint and zero vibration.

I spent the last few days iterating on a mechanical, non-destructive mount that ties directly into the factory mirror base. It sits exactly where I wanted it, tucked into the mirror housing area and out of the primary line of sight.

I am currently refining the design to get it perfect. I have a few ideas to slim down the geometry even more where possible to keep the profile as tight as possible against the mirror, all while ensuring the mount stays rock solid and rattle free over rough roads.

I attached a few photos of the prototype on the truck and I am pretty happy with the fitment so far.

Just wanted to share an update on my Comma 4 install. I was not happy with the standard mounting options because they rely on 3M adhesive tape. I have high-end ceramic tint on the windshield and the idea of risking that tint, or dealing with adhesive creep in the summer heat, was a non-starter for me.

Wouldn't be able to use that down south, our summers are brutal and the added weight would make that tiny little button that everything is hanging from come unglued or worse case pull the button off with some of the windshield still attached, yes I've seen it happen.

We gave the customer two choices, buy a new windshield or deal with a rear view mirror mounted offset and stare at that divot in the glass.

Looks good. I look forward to your development on this, because I'll likely go the Comma route once my free Bluecruise expires.

I have ceramic tint on my windshield as well. I have a Viofo A229 dashcam and I attached it a static cling inspection sticker holder (below). Surprisingly, it has lasted for 2 years now without issues in the Texas heat. I put it to the right of my rearview mirror, so it is not blocking my view.

Looking forward to this option for mounting.

That's a neat idea!

I would love the STL/ pay for one once is completed.

Check out the new slim mount. I don't think it can get any tighter! I hope to test this week.

Another revision has landed. This one looks like a stealth fighter!

Looking forward to feedback from the community!

I made the newest rev even more slim. Road testing went great today! Now to figure out how to fine tune things.

Pretty wild the Comma Four works on dirt roads!

I’m tracking this. Thinking about adding it to my 23 Xlt 312A
