Vehicle compatibility
To verify if the magnets will work with your vehicle:
- Try a simple kitchen magnet on your body panel.
- If it sticks, these mounts will too.
- Does not work on vehicles made of aluminum (e.g. Land Rover, new Ford Bronco).
Made in Switzerland
Designed, produced, and hand-assembled in Switzerland using high-end materials.
Even if barely noticeable, note that the plastic parts of the pins are 3D-printed from carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (100 CHF/kg material cost). This makes them extremely durable, heat-resistant, and impact-proof.
