Well, I tried to put my window mount up last night but the suction cups wouldn't adhere to the window. :x I cleaned up an older pair of cups for my V1, put them in boiling water but for a bit too long. Maybe I will try to use a newer pair. I even had a problem getting my BelEscort window mount to stick. Cold weather and suction cups do not go well together!!!
Dont feel bad, same thing with my x50. It was 6 degrees here last night and it came off. I had to put it on dashboard while i drove home from work and it didnt even pick up false alerts where i usually get them when i mount it high.Quote:

Yep know how ya feel, having the same problem :(
u can wait till its warmed up and even put a dabble of saliva on the cups, once they stick and u get them set when it gets cold again they wont fall off. make sure there arent any air bubbles when u set them either.
Thx Teamquack. :) I will try that but not tonight. Will wait until the morning .
In cold weather I have no problems with the V1 suction cups, it's the Rx65 suction cups I have problems with.
I've never had trouble with mine in either cold or hot weather - but instead, I get some instances of, when there's large temperature fluctuations, coming back to my vehicle to find that the detector & suction-mount dangling on the hardwire. :lol:
I've now taken to re-moistening and re-mounting four times a year - one per quarter - and I've yet to have a failure over the last 9 months....
Whats the coldest it gets where you live? Like 60f?Quote:

At night the temps are dropping into the high 20s. (f).Quote:
