Today, I bought an expensive, heat-resistant double-sided tape to attach my dashcam to the windshield. It didn't last five hours, but has stuck nicely to the floor mat. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after work, I peeled a parking ticket off my windshield. It was so hot that the ink from the ticket made a stamp on my windshield. Now I have a permanent reminder staring me in the face wherever I drive. FML
Today, my hair straightener broke. My husband suggested putting electrical tape on it because it was heat proof. I did and started straightening my hair. The supposed heat proof tape melted and got stuck in my hair. FML
Today, since I'm too broke to get a new one, I had to duct tape my bra. FML
Today, I spent 3 hours looking for a roll of tape. I didn't find the tape. I still need the tape. FML
Today, I went to run outside, only to smack straight into our sliding glass door. Just a few hours beforehand, my mom put up a strip of colored tape to stop this from happening. FML
Today, my dad told me it would be fine to use the mounting tape he'd bought to place paintings up in my newly painted room. I did, but after deciding I wanted to move a painting and pulling it off the wall, the wall came with it. Back to square one. FML
Today, some jerk super glued leaves and a note onto my car's front windshield. Not only is it directly in front of the driver's seat and makes it nearly impossible to drive, but it won't come off. What makes it worse? I was spending the night at a friend's house and the note was meant for her. FML
Today, I parked in a different lot because the one I usually park in was full. When I came back later, a bumper sticker was stuck to the windshield that said, "INCONSIDERATE F***, DON'T PARK HERE AGAIN!" To make matters worse, it was stuck on with a special type of glue, so it can't be removed. FML
Today, I bought a lanyard for my new car keys. "Epic Fail" was printed on it. Not two hours after getting it and putting my keys on it, I locked them in my car. I don't have a spare. FML
Today, I found a very large pumpkin super-glued to my car. It will not come off. FML

Don't dashcams come with holders? It seems odd that they wouldn't.

cheaper than a doggie seatbelt.

3M makes some very good double sided tape. So does Gorilla. Not sure if ready-resistant is actually necessary in that application, but it probably is a good idea anyway.

That's what I came here to ask. Mine came with several strips of adhesive, including different options (double sided tape, velcro, info on ordering a compatible suction cup...). It's been two years and the heat in my car has been as high as 120F and as low as -9F and it holds perfectly. It wasn't even a top of the range model. It cost $50 on Amazon (and has GREAT wide-angle lens in HD)
