[QUOTE="Huck Fonda, post: 313782, member: 9687"] I'm going to have to try your epoxy fix. My Rider failed in a imilar way, but slighly different. The pins on my mount contacted the pads very near the bottom edge. I attempted to resolve this by "lowering" the Rider in the cradle. I shaved down the rubber at the bottom that locates the unit in the cradle, and also filed away at the body itself, as I saw contact marks where the upper portion of the body begins to curve forward (as mounted). These worked well enough to get me home, where I ordered another cradle. The contact points with the replacement cradle were much more centralized, but the whole thing has since failed again. I also got mine on a special kind of deal, so can't justifiably return it or ask for assistance in resolving this, so the conductive epoxy is a great solution. I like the Rider's function, now I just need to keep it alive. Willy, I've had a little history with Garmin, so try not to buy their products, but that Zumo looks very cool. Have you had any problems whether mechanical or functional with the use of it? I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'll look and see if there's already a thread on the topic, but thought I'd ask here, too. [/QUOTE]
