I have also used 3M VHB tape for many indoor application. It sticks very well. I have not used on places exposed to sun but the people whom I got it from have been using it in outdoor application as a matter of industry standard. So it ought to be good.

My experience with mirror mount kit is that it damages the mirror itself. I've had a mobile phone holder (Capdase) fixed on to my older Hyundai i10 mirror. Just because of the sheer weight (and the device at the end of a lever amplifying the force) + the rough roads that we've to drive through, the mirror itself became loose at it's root. This is a bigger trouble than it's worth. I've a dash cam too which I wouldn't term light weight. So I'm skeptical about using mirror mount of any kind.

70 mai ships electrostatic stickers in the box, you may want to use that instead. You can buy them here if you have exhausted them.

I ran out of those stickers when I was transferring it to my new car. Transparent tape does the job for me

I have a VIOFO A119S that has remained stuck for over 4 years now!
I even keep taking it off the bracket often to remove the sd card, and download the videos.

Relocated? How did you remove the mount? It's really solidly attached.

Use expired credit card or similar plastic card like knife to pierce between mount and windshield. It will push the tape out of place. Videos are available on youtube. Check dash cam mount removal video by blackboxmycar.

What's the advantage of using these?

A quick update. Procured the product suggested here https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0156EYYOM/?tag=tbhp0e-21 .

Mounted the Dash Cam once again. It has been two weeks now, with some road trips (60-80km range) as well. So far so good. The dashboard is sticking around with the windshield.

I too bought this tape last month to re-attach my dashcam to new vehicle. Used it without primer, and my cam is holding good after almost 500km. Will update if there are any issues.

So recently I had to replace my front windscreen and need to attach the dashcam.
Earlier I had used the electrostatic sticker and stuck the cam but now I am not sure how to do it even after reading the thread! ( It made me more confused).
Do I need electrostatic sticker?
Which tape to use?

So basically instead of the "electrostatic sticker" you just used a simple transparent tape ?

Yes, it works just as well. Only downside is there will be residue when you remove it which can be cleaned later
