    Do you mean the USB Cover? I lost my cover and I contacted Garmin for a replacement, they sent one free of charge.

    No, the mount more specifically one of the two tabs is broken so cant be properly secured.

    There have been some posters on here who have had success in contacting Garmin for a fix for this (even outside of warranty, as they conceded these tabs should never realistically break). Might be worth contacting them to see if they can do something for you?

    Might try this but I bought it second hand if that matters?

    Had problems with a metal garmin mount that wore away my locking tabs. I ordered mine from the states last year, arrived about a week later and it is a brilliant solution.
