Quick Answer
To replace a 4-prong MagTough mount head, remove the old head by unscrewing or unclipping it from the arm, then attach the new 4-prong replacement head by matching the prong style and tightening securely.
Why You Might Need to Replace the Mount Head
Over time, the magnetic grip on your phone mount can weaken due to wear or accidental drops. Replacing just the mount head is often cheaper and faster than buying a whole new mount system.
The ToughTested 4-Prong MagTough Magnetic Mount Head Replacement is a dedicated spare part that restores full magnetic function without replacing your existing mount arm or base.
Check Your Prong Style Before Buying
Not all 4-prong heads are identical. The MagTough replacement is designed specifically for select 4-prong mount setups. Verify that your current mount uses the same prong configuration and attachment method (screw-on or clip-on) before purchasing.
If you are unsure, compare the prong shape and spacing with the replacement head's photos or contact ToughTested support for compatibility confirmation.
Step-by-Step Replacement Guide
- Step 1: Remove the Old Mount Head: Unscrew the old head from the mount arm or unclip it if it uses a snap-on design. Keep any screws or washers safe for reuse. Common mistake: forcing a clip-on head off without releasing the locking tab can break the arm. Check for a release button or notch.
- Step 2: Align the New 4-Prong Head: Position the replacement head so the prongs match the orientation of your mount arm. The magnetic surface should face the phone. Checkpoint: ensure the prongs are fully seated in the arm slot before tightening to avoid a loose fit.
- Step 3: Secure the Head: Tighten the screw or snap the head into place until it is firm. Do not overtighten—hand-tight is usually enough. Common mistake: overtightening can strip the threads or crack the plastic housing. Stop when you feel resistance.
- Step 4: Test the Magnetic Hold: Attach your phone (with a metal plate or MagSafe case) to the mount. Shake the mount gently to confirm the phone stays secure. Checkpoint: if the phone slides off, the head may not be fully seated or the magnetic surface might need cleaning.
