Hereby I want to open a discussion regarding flag mounts. An off road flag is an essential safety tool for off roading. I see more and more that people are using suction mounts in combination with a relative heavy flag. This combination is sold by off road shops as pair. A person would think, "well, if a reputable off road shop is selling me this, then this should work, no?" Maybe, but most probably not. Especially not the suction mount in combination with the 2 part flag of AOR. This flag is too heavy for a suction mount. I forgive you if you are new to this sport and your setup is not working, or your flag is falling down all the time. But from fewbie and above, I can't understand why you don't invest in a good mount. The most expensive garage will charge you 200 AED for a fixed mount. I am sure there are garages doing it for cheaper. A good setup is not only for your own safety or that of the others, but it gives you also more thinking capacity instead of worrying all the time that your flag will soon or later fall off when you're crossing a ridge. Besides that it is annoying that you have to step out to mount the flag again, it is also holding up the whole convoy. Please, post your solution, experience, combination of flag and mount. Tell us at which garage you did it, and if possible the price as well.

Purchasing this care was a big mistake. Having driven around 400,000Km in Dubai without once getting stranded due to a bad car I decided to go for ford edge due to looks. Within fist 75000Km of Ford edge Brakes failed-had to be changed, Gear transmission had to be changed, door transmission had to be changed. Sync works at will. Customer care is a no action team.... Extremely disappointing, not a American car at all. Now am scared to take out this vehicle on a long drive.
