I’ve been using the strike mount with handle and polycarbonate shield for about a month in some of the harshest conditions I can put it through. The magnets have been more than strong enough to keep the unit attached and I have been driving through some thick overgrown dirt roads as well as high speed interstates. I live in an extremely hot area as well. All in all the point is easy to throw up, easy to take down if I leave the vehicle unattended and has done a fantastic job at protecting the Starlink. I did add the bug guard on as well, very easy install. Signal strength seems to be unaffected by the shield for what it’s worth. I have. Installed this same set up on other emergency response vehicles as welll utilizing the steel plates with adhesive, worked flawlessly! I love how simple it is to switch between vehicles, throw it into a utv, or just use it running off AC. This is a fantastic mounting/protection system - I highly recommend it.
Fantastic quality. Easy to install although t-nuts and screws were not included. Everything to complete install should be included for the orice if the kit. Maybe mine was a one off? If so, 5 stars.
Hi Mark,
Thank you for the feedback. We designed these kits to be a universal fitment to all roof racks. While the universal nature makes them great for so many applications, it also makes it hard for us to include hardware for every roof rack configuration.
We will make sure to add a notation calling out that roof rack specific hardware is required so this is not a surprise for future customers.
Thanks!
Bryan
Great quality, just works. Everything you need, nothing you don't. Reasonable price, fast shipping. Highly recommend
This mount plate is priced higher than some of the competitors but I think it's worth it. I have the polycarbonate shield and the magnetic mounts. It fits really well on our Ford Transit high roof. The magnets are really strong and I have zero concern that it will come off the van unless I take it off. The handle is nice. I can climb up, disconnect the cable, grab the starlink and bring it down to put on my tripod. This thing is great.
This is not just another mass-produced innovation! When you see the high-quality craftsmanship and innovation that goes in to putting this brushed aluminum bracket together with the magnet mounts - I'm installing mine with the magnet-grabbing discs to glue on to my fiberglass roof - you'll realize that you stepped up to a worthy piece of equipment.
