About this product
The Buick list in this listing is unusually wide for a single kit: it spans an SUV, several sedans and the GL8, and the housing behind the rear-view mirror is not a shared part across those bodies. A dedicated dash cam works by replacing that cover, so the mounting surface has to match, and on a GL8 it is not the same as on a Verano or a Regal. Two consequences follow. First, a list this wide usually means more than one bracket variant ships under the same listing, and you have to tell the seller which one you need. Second, the nameplate alone is not enough: the same name can differ by model year and trim, and one entry in the list even carries a model-year figure. So do what a fitter would do. Photograph the back of your rear-view mirror together with the surrounding trim, note your exact model year and trim level, and send both to the seller. Ask which line of the list covers your car, and ask specifically about the mirror: cars with a camera in that housing for lane assist or rain sensing usually take a different cover from those without. A bracket that misses by a few millimetres will not clip in, and there is nothing to adjust. Listed at 799 yuan against a 1,199 yuan original, with annual sales around 1,000 units.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Built to replace the housing cover, so nothing hangs in the driver's line of sight in the way a suction mount does
- Covers a wide Buick list, from the GL8 to the smaller sedans, so the question becomes which variant is yours
- At 799 yuan against a 1,199 yuan original, the dedicated form costs what a generic camera does
- Sold by the PAPAGO car-products flagship store, so the fitment list can be checked with the brand
Cons
- A list spanning an SUV, sedans and the GL8 usually means several bracket variants: you must tell the seller which one
- The listing does not give the covered model years, and the same nameplate changes mirror housing between them
- Cars with a camera in the housing for lane assist or rain sensing often take a different cover
- A bracket that misses by millimetres will not clip in, and there is no adjustment to make up for it
