I have a lockable Touratech GPS mount for my Zumo 660.
When I first mounted it on the accessorie bar above the dash on my 2015 S10 I encountered the problem that it sat so low, that it obstructed my view of the dash.
By tilting it up it was only the turn signal indicators that was covered (annoying enough) but this made it harder to see the GPS screen in bright sun light.
I have now come up with a simple and effective solution to raise the lockable mount.
All I needed was two 10x2cm pieces of 3mm stainless steel and two 5mm bolts with nuts and washers.
I had a local machine shop fabricate/cut the stainless steal for me for a few bucks. I then drilled three 6mm holes in each piece - first hole placed in the center, the two others in relation to that using the bracket for mounting on the bar as a template - for the second piece I used the first drilled one as a template.
The result is very good. I now have a clear view of the entire dash and the GPS is tilted down as I want it. The mounting is rock solid.
