    Keep your car running, leave the ac on - and redirect the ac to the v1's cups.

    Actually, I'm preety sure your screwed. You could try using the gigantic ones that v1 sends you - maybe those will have a bit more hold in the temperatures.

    Use the visor mount, or you can make a mount just like this one.

    no problems here

    gets to over 100 and hasnt dropped ever

    what i did was took out the quick release bar

    then i soaked the cups in hot water to soften it up

    dried it and put it on the windshield while it was still warm and kinda soft

    no problemo!

    i will look at the visor mount but am not a fan of it becuase its so hard to level in my car/truck.

    also, i am already using the big cups they sent.
