[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1249279, member: 3187"] I have a slightly different take. I ride a fair bit in the rain. With the Tomtom, and I suspect other satnavs, water can creep between the satnav and its mount, so can get to and into the contact area. My little smear of petroleum jelly stops moisture getting past the pins into the springs of the pins, which is where I had corrosion on my first mount before I started taking this precaution. Any residual moisture that does get past would evaporate due to the warmth of the cradle when operating. I've never had a problem with dirt adhering to the petroleum jelly, though I don't often ride in dusty conditions. [/QUOTE]
