I placed a Mounting Pad (used with Zip Tie) and than ran a rubber band through the holes and around the back of the mount.

Good morning Andrew.

Your link goes straight to my Facebook page, not yours. I've sent you a PM

Yes and use a hair (pony tail) rubber band

This hasn't happened to me yet but each time I ride with the XT in the mount I'm getting 'undue anxiety'.

If the XT was to pop out of the mount it would probably be destroyed or ran over by a following vehicle etc.

Has anyone a simple solution to prevent this happening or am I maybe worried about something that won't happen?

Run a tether to the rear of the unit with a stick on zip tie mount. This is what I did before I bought the Touratech locking mount. Don't waste your money on the 'Zumo Lock' it only blocks the release catch, it does not secure the unit itself.

thanks - I cover my with my Hemet when in a restaurant and take it off when I'm in a hotel

My solution, among all possible, using one of the rear fixing screws; can be mounted on one of the 4 corners of the GPS:

Great idea. Any idea if it might compromise the water proofing?
