Time fetching or purchasing materials + the time to do it. Not out the question if you ask me to buy a part that specifically designed for this. My time is pretty valuable so I wouldn't blame anyone for skipping something as minor just like I don't for people who don't do their own oil changes.
I tried this mount and it worked well for several weeks but then something happened with the magnets because they just seemed to get weaker and weaker, until my phone would fall off after a few seconds. I now have the "Smart and Easy" which is the 4th one I have tried, so far so good.
I spent $2.99 on a hose clamp yesterday to fix a broken (rusted) exhaust strap holding a heat shield on the stock Y-pipe. The heat shield is welded on one side and held on by a metal strap on the other. It broke about 6 months ago but I was too lazy to crawl under the truck until yesterday when it was nice and I had some time. The rattling was getting on my nerves too.

The Tylt Vu uses a 16mm ball mount, same as most garmin gps mounts. The Tylt has a locking nut on the ball mount so you can tighten it and it won't move. I have a 3d printer so I printed one with a large base and used 3m 10lb double stick tape. You can buy the same type of mount on . Yesterday, I wired a cig power plug to the pass side fuse box (#41 for switched power).

Save your money. I saw a few posts where people are spending upwards of $65 on a device to gain access behind the rear seats. Here's a video and won't cost you a thing and install takes less than five minutes. Also, I installed a different set up on each side, but if I'm being honest, the 550 cord version works better in my opinion.
