Mazda5 Dashboard Magnetic Phone mount

thingiverse

A mobile holder designed for installation above the steering wheel in a Mazda5 (2008). Attach a powerful magnet to the holder and insert a flat metal plate into your smartphone case. Instructions Designed specifically for Mazda5 models produced in 2008, although other models may also work, verification is necessary. Printing in ABS is essential to avoid damage caused by heat in a vehicle. Insert the left and right arms into the designated slots on either side of the holder plate, ensuring they can adjust as needed to lay flat against the curved dashboard. The arms snap onto the front dash, secure into a seam at the top edge behind the center, and stay in place due to tension. Optional: gently file the bottom edge of each arm's bracket to improve grip by creating a sharper point that seizes better on the dash seam. Next, slide an 18mm x 3mm strong magnet into the holder and add a flat metal sheet into your phone case. Tips for adjustments: Maintain the ideal clip spacing: hook and tooth alignment. Ensure optimal tension when hook is retracted slightly below the underside of the dash. Avoid shifting the vertical arms too far forward; excessive phone weight could cause leverage towards the driver, potentially dislodging the tooth from its groove.
