Did Not Last

Had this cup mount about 2 months when the tightening screw for locking the legs broke free without great pressure. It appears the internal broke track that broke was all plastic and poor quality.

Hi Orlando,
This is definitely not the experience we want you to have with our product. Please provide us a photo of the Car Cup Mount at BelkinCares@belkin.com so we can help you get a replacement. Include your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.
My daughter purchased this for me as a gift in mid-April. It worked great and I was very pleased, but the screw mechanism which keeps the locking "legs" in place broke when I was trying to unscrew the unit so I could use the device in another car. The screw mechanism now does not work at all.

Hi,
It is very unusual for the mount to break after just 6 weeks. Don't worry, we'll have this sorted out for you. Just send us your contact details at BelkinCares@belkin.com along with the link to this post so that we can endorse you to our Customer Service Team.
i bought this a year ago and it has now lost its ability to grip to the cup holder. one of the expanding prongs has fallen out and the other two do not expand.i really like it though.i just wish it was a little sturdier . im going through the warranty process on it right now and i must say so far belkin have been really great .
I've experienced the same issue reported by others with respect to the above reference Cup Mount. I am now on my second unit that just broke again.
The top disengaged from the bottom so the cylinder inside does not lock in place and will not be able to lock into a cup holder anymore.

Hi Crdop,
We’d like to take a look at what happened with your Car Cup Mount. Please provide us a photo of it at BelkinCares@belkin.com so we can help you get a possible replacement. Include your contact details and the link to this review.
I absolutely loved it up until it broke about a week into using it. Needs the base to be stronger, because getting it snug broke it right away.

Hi, Fletch,
The car cup mount should last longer than a week. We suggest that you return it back to the retailer and ask for a replacement. If you encounter challenges with their process, please reach out to us at BelkinCares@belkin.com so we can further assist. Indicate your contact information and the link to this review.
It seems that there's a reoccurring theme here. Yes, mine broke in three months and the same issue I'm reading on these reviews. The top disengaged from the bottom so the cylinder inside does not lock in place and will not be able to lock into a cup holder anymore. The product has been in one car for the last three months, so obviously it didn't get much use before it broke. I'm very disappointed with this product and I hope Belkin improves its durability before this happens to other buyers.
