My home made two-piece clip/mount
Hi,
I got this idea from ProClip. Like many of you, I don't like things on my windshield, dash or attached to vents.
I made this from a steel plate and a low cost mount on sale a Canadian Tire for $6. (Type S Universal Holder, Flex Arm)
I spent about a half hour of my time (not including paint drying time of course - 3 coats).
No screws or drilling into the car. It holds great, very sturdy! If it loosens up I will use some double sided tape like the ProClips.
Total cost, about $8.
I think I should respray it in either flat black or a silver/aluminum look.

I can wedge it into any joint in the dash and it holds very tight.
I added a coat of Plasti-dip and it helps it grip even better...not that it needed it. I painted it again to alter the finish to matte.
Anyway, I have a couple more pics. I don't know what gauge the steel is. I can tell you its about 2mm thick. The front face of it is 2 1/4" x 4" and the short part that goes into gaps is 1/2".

...these pics show it with my BB Torch case velcro'd to it.
