Robust Magnetic Roof Mount Guide for Starlink MiniUpdated 19 hours ago
Welcome to your new Spacetek Robust Magnetic Roof Mount for Starlink Mini.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, this mount provides a clean, vehicle-ready mounting option for Starlink Mini using strong magnetic feet, a powder-coated mount body and an integrated carry handle.
This guide covers what you need to know before installation, including surface preparation, magnetic mounting checks, assembly notes and helpful FAQs.
Before You Get Started
⚠️ The Robust Magnetic Roof Mount is designed to be used on a clean, flat metal vehicle surface.
Before placing the mount on a vehicle, always check that the surface is suitable and that all magnets can sit flat with full contact.
Before installation we recommend:
Laying out all parts before starting
Checking that all magnets are firmly attached to the mount base
Confirming the Starlink Mini, cover, handle and screws are secure
Choosing a clean, smooth and flat metal area on the vehicle
Wiping away dust, moisture or debris before positioning the mount
Checking that all magnets sit firmly before driving
Avoid placing the mount on plastic, glass, dirty, curved, damaged, uneven or unstable surfaces, as this may reduce magnetic hold.
Taking a little extra time to prepare the surface can help ensure a cleaner setup and more secure vehicle-mounted installation.
Important Installation Notes
This mount is designed for external vehicle roof use with Starlink Mini.
It is not designed for dashboard mounting, glass mounting, plastic surfaces, non-metal roofs or unstable surfaces.
Magnetic hold depends on the condition, shape, material and cleanliness of the surface being used. Always confirm the mount is secure before travelling or operating the vehicle.
Although the mount is designed for vehicle use, any in-motion use remains the user’s responsibility. Always follow local road rules and check the mount before each trip.
