VHB Adhesive Landing Pads

A permanent, no-drill way to lock your TRIO mount to almost any smooth surface. Fiberglass, aluminum, glass, and more.

This set of four landing pads bonds straight to your roof using genuine 3M 5952 VHB adhesive, the industry standard for outdoor, automotive, and marine mounting. No drilling. No Dicor. No silicone. Just clean, press, and ride.

Each pad includes an M6 threaded insert, so your mount bolts on solid. Surface prep wipes are included so you get full contact and maximum hold from the start.

Built for fiberglass RV roofs, aluminum truck cabs, boat decks, glass sunroofs, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.

Permanent hold These pads are made to stay. The VHB bonds immediately and reaches full strength after about 72 hours. If you want a setup you can move between vehicles, look at the VHB Adhesive Magnet Mounting Discs instead.

Curved or angled roof Pair the pads with Swivel Leg Adapters so each foot sits flush for full surface contact and a stronger bond.

Installation

Installation

  1. Thread the bolts into the landing pads and tighten with the supplied allen key.
  2. Confirm your mounting surface is smooth and non-porous. For best adhesion, lightly scuff the surface with a scotch pad. Do this at your discretion, as scuffing will mark the finish. Clean the scuffed area with the included isopropyl alcohol wipes.
  3. Remove the red VHB liner. Carefully set the mount with the exposed pads onto the cleaned surface. Point the TRIO logo and dish cord toward the back (trailing edge) of your vehicle, boat, or RV.
  4. Apply firm pressure through each mounting foot for solid adhesion. If possible, place a heavy object on top of the mount for 24 hours to optimize the bond. Ideal application temperature is 70°F to 100°F.
  5. Slide the Starlink dish onto the mount until it clicks firmly into place. Confirm it is secure. You are online.
