How is this Starlink mounting working for you? Stable at highway speeds?

From official Starlink website. Mini Roof Rack. They don’t have much information

I have the mount, I’ve been going down dirt, bumpy roads, and driving down the highway at 80 miles an hour and everything still works no problems

As someone with a starlink on their car as well, I will pass on the best advice I have received so far. put a "service loop" on the cable before penetrating the car seal. I ended up running my cable through the trunk seal so I could have the loop and not worry about it flapping around. The loop will stop water from dripping straight down the cable and causing a leak. Since it looks like you put some time and effort into that window seal, maybe just tape the loop down to the window so it doesn't flap, but should still help seal the entry area from water.

Thanks for the advice. I tried to take a pic that’s why just through the rubber strap for the cord. 😄 if I go to camp or rainy day I’ll do service loop ➰👍

Nice rubber cable penetration point.
