**sx4dude2013** · 10-13-2010, 02:40 PM

My suction cups that came with my RX65 are failing on me

espically during the day, ill go out to my car and ny detector will be hanging from the ceiling/headliber. It happens EVERYDAY! Should I order new suction cups. Or will the mega cup thing work were I can still have it hardwired? Any tips/advice!

Id look into the Escort Super Cup mount or get a visor mount.

The super cup mount has issues after a while with the heat. i think you can put them in boiling water, and then freezing water and it should add some more suction? I can't remember how you do it.

My V1 suction cups are awesome. maybe try getting those if they fit.

I read a lot of bad reviews about the "super cup" thing. I just decided to order some new cups. I found a new cup and mount with 2 extra cups for $7.95 with free shipping. If they ship 2morrow it should be here by monday. Ill just go unprotected for a few days!!

Your local arts-&-crafts store will sell suction cups with small hooks on them. Remove the hooks and use them in place of the Belscort ones. They're cheaper and stronger.

This is what I did also.

the boil method works... boil them for 30 secs then dip them in cold water then boil them again for 20 secs then back into the cold water... it brings back all the suction... i do this every other month... or when i notice the suction cups stop working

I had been a visor mount user for a long time. But a number of months ago, I started using suction cups, and had problems with them falling off. It had always been said that rubbing vaseline on suction cups would "rejuvenate" them, I didn't have any vasoline so I used chapstick. Ever since I did that, they haven't fallen off once. Try it!
