Description

Set of 4 x VHB landing pads with threaded inset (M6) allowing for easy fixed attachment to TRIO mounts.

Allow you to secure your starlink to fiberglass RV/camper roofs, aluminum truck cabs, boat decks, glass sunroofs etc.

This is a great permanent mounting option.

Kit includes:

  • 4x diecut genuine 3M 5952 heavy duty VHB circles mounted to thermoplastic bases with threaded inserts.
  • Alcohol wipes for surface preparation
  • Bolt size to fit your mount chosen from drop-down menu

Please refer to 3M installation instructions on page 7. NOTE: If you have a curved roof, the mount itself has slight flex but you may need to use our swivel leg adapters for maximum surface area contact when using rubber coated magnets, VHB landing pads, or suction cups. Please add to your order if required.
Installation

1. Feed bolts (blue loctite already applied) through spaces at each of the 4 feet on the TRIO Flatmount

2. Thread the screws into the landing pads and tighten using the allen key supplied.

3. PLEASE NOTE: the mounting substrate that your landing pads will be stuck to should be non-porous and smooth. It is recommended to lightly scuff the surface you will be sticking the VHB discs to using a scotch pad. HOWEVER, do this at your discretion as doing so will scratch the finish of your mounting surface. Use isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean the scuffed surface you wish to secure the VHB pads onto.

4. Remove the red VHB sticker cover and carefully place the flatmount (with the exposed VHB pads) onto the freshly cleaned surface. THE TRIO FLATMOUNT LOGO (AND DISH CORD) SHOULD BE POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK (TRAILING EDGE) OF YOUR VEHICLE/BOAT/RV ETC.

5. Apply firm pressure through the mounting feet to ensure adhesion. If possible, place heavy object on top of the mount for 24 hrs to optimize adhesion (ideal application temperature is 70-100F).

6. Slide the Starlink dish onto the TRIO Flatmount until it clicks firmly into place and make sure it is secure… and enjoy your internet!

NOTE: Many factors beyond TRIO Flatmount’s control and uniquely within user’s knowledge and control can affect the use and performance of a mounting product in a particular application. Given the variety of factors that can affect the use and performance of a TRIO Flatmount product, user is solely responsible for evaluating the product and determining whether it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for user’s method of application.

What surfaces do the VHB Adhesive Landing Pads work on?

The VHB Adhesive Landing Pads bond to fiberglass, aluminum, glass, and more, using 3M industrial-strength VHB adhesive for a weatherproof hold.
Are the VHB Adhesive Landing Pads permanent?

Yes, the VHB Adhesive Landing Pads are very permanent. For a setup you can move between vehicles, look at the VHB Adhesive Magnet Mounting Discs.
How do I install the VHB Adhesive Landing Pads?

Clean the surface with the included prep wipe, then press each VHB Landing Pad firmly into place. Make sure it sits flush with full contact for the strongest bond.
Do I need to drill to install the VHB Adhesive Landing Pads?

No. The VHB Landing Pads provide a permanent mounting solution without drilling into your vehicle, RV, boat, or other surface.
Do I need Dicor, silicone, or extra adhesive with the VHB Landing Pads?

No. The VHB Landing Pads come with genuine 3M 5952 VHB adhesive, built for demanding outdoor mounting. Extra adhesive is typically not needed when the surface is properly prepared.
How strong is the adhesive on the VHB Landing Pads?

The VHB Landing Pads use genuine 3M 5952 VHB adhesive, widely considered the industry standard for outdoor, automotive, and marine mounting.
How long do the VHB Landing Pads take to cure?

The VHB Landing Pads begin bonding immediately. Maximum strength is typically reached after about 72 hours. Avoid disturbing the mount while it cures.
What is the ideal install temperature for the VHB Landing Pads?

Best adhesion comes with surface temperatures between 70°F and 100°F.

Yes. The surface should be clean, dry, smooth, and non-porous. Use the included alcohol wipes before installing the VHB Landing Pads.
Can I install the VHB Landing Pads on a textured or porous surface?

We recommend smooth, non-porous surfaces for the strongest bond. Highly textured or porous surfaces may reduce VHB Landing Pad performance.

Yes. The VHB Landing Pads are common on fiberglass RV roofs, aluminum truck cabs, boat decks, glass sunroofs, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.
Should I place weight on the mount after installing the VHB Landing Pads?

If possible, apply weight for the first 24 hours to help the VHB Landing Pads optimize contact and bond strength.
