Yeah thats not a bad idea, but I only have my gps up when im delivering pizza n stuff, took this right as I got out of work. When im not working it comes down. I cut them off cause they look shitty, they are all worn out, if they were new red ones I might keep em. N they are suppose to keep dirt n stuff out, but when stuff gets in em, like salt, mud, dirt, water, etc.....the boot traps it in there n will corrode the shock.

gotcha but you could jus unplug the unit from the power cord and kinda put you a nifty lil clip there for it so it wont just be flopping round or something... and yea good point on the shocks
