Learn how to swap the ToughTested 4-Prong Talon Mount Head on your car mount. Follow these simple steps for a secure, stable device hold.
Quick answer
Remove the old 4-prong Talon mount head by pressing the release button, then snap the new ToughTested 4-Prong Talon Mount Head into place until it locks.
Why replace the mount head?
Over time, a worn or damaged mount head can lose grip, causing your device to shift or fall during driving. Swapping in a fresh ToughTested 4-Prong Talon Mount Head restores stability and extends the life of your existing car mount base.
Check compatibility first
The Talon Mount Head is designed for ToughTested mounts that use a 4-prong connection. Before purchasing, verify that your mount base has a 4-prong receiver. If it uses 2-prong or a different locking pattern, this replacement will not fit.
Step-by-step replacement guide
- Remove the old mount head: Locate the release button on the side of your current mount head. Press and hold it while gently pulling the head away from the mount base. It should slide off without excessive force. If it sticks, check that the release button is fully depressed — do not yank or twist.
- Align the new Talon mount head: Take your ToughTested 4-Prong Talon Mount Head and line up the four prongs with the slots on your mount base. Ensure the orientation matches so the release button faces outward for easy access. Misaligned prongs can prevent a secure lock — double-check the position before pushing.
- Snap it into place: Push the new mount head firmly onto the base until you hear a click. The Off-Road Lock will engage, adding extra stability. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it is locked. No click means it is not fully seated — remove and try again rather than forcing it.
- Test the release button: Press the release button to make sure the head detaches smoothly. Then reattach it to verify the lock engages correctly each time. A sticky or hard-to-press button may indicate debris in the mechanism — clean with a dry cloth.
