Suction cups not sticking on cold window

[richardboy316]

In cold weather I have no problems with the V1 suction cups, it's the Rx65 suction cups I have problems with.

yeah the other night i borrow my friends rx65...i could not, no matter how hard i tried or where i put them, get them to stick


as for the v1 people, just heat up ur winshield for a bit then it should work
or
dont have those problems, and get a RVM mount, like me

If you want them to stick more securely, but rather permanent, try this… once your car window heats up, apply a little silicone to the cups. Let dry before attaching RD. Preferably on a warmer sunny day. You can get the suction cups and silicone off with a razor blade if you need to at a later date.

Like I said, it's more of a permanent mount. But it works quite well. If you do need to take the suctions off and want to clean the silicone off, just use a razor blade and or a little paint thinner will break down the silicone.

Use Clear

Good tip on the caulking, Techhead

You mean aftermarket "film" tint?

In that case, yes, it will.

But to the best of my understanding, I thought that such tints were a big no-no when it comes to the front windshield?

i could swear i've seen fully tinted cars

I thought most of those were "show" vehicles - or people who like to run a pull-over risk.

Honestly, I don't know - I'm asking that question myself. :arrow: :?:
