This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands! Actually turned out OK and surprisingly they work great. Will have to remove in the summer heat, but great for Spring and Fall.

I use this mount. Very solid, adjustable with built in charging. Once the phone is in there it is clamped good and tight. About $30 on amazon. You can access all the buttons when its in the cradle.
