Default Car dock

I can't figure out how to adjust the arm. The directions say "loosen either knob" but there's only one knob. Am I missing something? This is making me crazy..

No you're not its not adjustable. I am buying a Kuda leather mount base and igrip pivoting mount to screw into it to make a nice clean install I hate stuff on my windows.

There is just a circle dial behind the dock. Loosen it and you can adjust. It is definitely adjustable, you can make it go whichever way you want. I always used
a universal dock before but this thing is bad ass! Not only that, it has a removable insert so you can use it with a case on your phone! I can confirm all the
TPU-Cases cases will fit.

There is only one nob. Im super surprised your having problems with it, the manual should not of been needed. Wonder if yours is defective?

That iGrip link is not the mount it comes with, the one it comes with is adjustable.

Yes, I can see the knob to adjust the tilt. It's the other axis to adjust the height that has me confused. The directions say this is a 270 degree axis, but for me it won't budge.
Edit: after reviewing the manufacturers web site I see either they made a last second change to the design or mine was built incorrectly. Can anyone confirm? Does anyone have two adjustment knobs?

No as stated that link is the mount I'm purchasing for my custom install since I can't find a good way to use the arm that came with it.

Sgtcody only have the one knob. I've tried disassembling the arm to adjust the one you're talking about but no luck. In my Charger the glass is too deep to put it anywhere that won't be in my field of view and still accessible.

I bought this and I love it. I was screwing with this thing for and hour trying to figure out a way to get it to pivot at that point as well. I removed the caps (which is a damn pain) and then you can pull apart the side walls and then rotate it. I am not sure if it was intended that way but it will work. Hope this helps.
