The one that came with my color monitor holds it perfectly fine.
So there you have it... one claim that it won't stick and another (me) claim that it does. Now that you have more than one claim... you decide.

It has to get very hot in my truck for the mount to fall. Normally if I am driving it never falls off.

Money means nothing to me.......Pshaw........
Clearly, it must not mean anything. I mean.........how could it???
But, the one that came with it broke, so..................and it's pretty POS.
That was first url I found. They can be found cheaper. I use mine for the backup camera, though. I don't know where I'm going to put the TPMS monitor. I have a Scangauge, Garmin GPS on a ProClip, Transfer Trax3 gauge, backup/observation camera, and now the TPMS....(if I can get it to work).
Looks like a 747 cockpit.

Just finished a 3k mile trip with mine. It sat happily on the dash of my F150 in the little tray below the inside rear view mirror.

30 years ago, I went camping.
Now, I travel to destinations and stay there a while.

Not sure. I didn't. I went camping in a tent for a weekend. I am not sure that I didn't have more stuff then than I do now. It took two cars/trucks to get it all to the lake, with the boat, kids........clothes, food, ice chests.........it was pretty amazing.
The stuff you highlighted in red give me good info, and the monitors for all those devices in TOTAL would easily fit in a shoebox.

First off it tells me folks do not have a clean windshield if it keeps falling off. I cleaned my hole inside of windshield prior to using suction cup holder it has been there for about 6 months now. Later RJD

I have had many vehicles over the years with windshield mounted suction cups for different things, GPS, dash cams and etc they all would fall off when left parked in the sunshine. there must be a secret to keeping it stuck. I have thought about using super glue

Okay, inquiring minds need to know. How do you clean a "HOLE"??? Especially if it is inside of a windshield... 
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I have a color monitor. Used Velcro and put it in the eyeglass holder in the front ceiling of my F350. Fits perfectly and closes too, when I don't want to use it.
Brilliant.

Lets see, I have a 7in Garmin GPS, a backup camera, a new bigger TPMS and a dash cam. It’s a wonder I can even see out the windshield.

OK, here's a point about these suction cup thingies that come with the observation cameras or the TPMS or such.
Look VERY CLOSELY at the clear plastic round piece. If you have my eyes, you probably need a magnifying glass. It is stretched over a knob of sorts, which holds it in place. That stretching will cause a slight tear in the plastic where it stretches over that knob. If it is torn, it is NOT going to stick........I don't care what you do.
Even if not torn, it also has a tendency to come partway off.
If yours won't stick, check that.
But I stop using them when I found the Ram models that truly work. Ram makes a ton of 'em, way more than the one I posted. Ram mounts work. So do ProClips if you can find the right one for your device.........they don't make one for the observation camera. But Ram mounts hold devices on my boat, and they stay in rough water, etc. They work.

TST 507 color monitor
Yep. Look above, I found some that are plastic Velcro and they hold great.
I think I found them at menards but probably most places that have a good selection of the command strips items would have.

Sounds like this is the original 507 system? Who did you buy it from? To the comment about the price difference between it and a color system, if it's the older style monitor, it probably came without the repeater. So, the price difference is not only the monochrome to color monitor difference, but also the repeater?
