    Default Where to get better suction cups?

    The suction cups for my 9500ix are not too good. It has been getting cold here in Montana, but my garage is still about 30 degrees and the 9500ix will not stick very well at all. I am placing the suction cups directly on the glass and they keep falling off, in turn my RD falls and hangs by the hardwire cord. I guess the factory suction cups don't like the cold very well.

    Does anyone know of where I can get better suction cups to use with the factory mount? This is starting to drive me crazy.

    Thanks

    I saw your question over on Escort. The answer I gave you is that on Ebay, they have holders for Garmins.Someone on Escorts forum used one said it works really good.

    Exactly. I have gotten many from "Hobby Lobby". And they work great, also try Auto Zone or any auto parts supplier.

    I run a couple of Whistler RD and I have never had a problem with the suction cups. If you really want something to stick, try RAM MOUNTS or heavy duty velcro with adhesive.

    I just went to Michael's to get some new suction cups. So far they seem to be working well, especially since its getting colder out.

    I wandered into my local "Do It Best" hardware store and found the correct suction cups sitting right there for $1.98. I think they were the "Adams" brand.
