Has anyone tried suction cups in colder temps to make it stick?

AmI supposed to provide the suction cups? Seems to me they should be part of the purchase.

If you apply the Velcro in cool or cold weather it doesn't stick very well, you can use a hair dryer to warm the area up where you apply it. I used a socket extension to rub across the velcro to make it stick better. If you run out of velcro or need a larger piece go to Walmart and buy a roll of it, that's what I will have to do if I put my top back on this winter as most of the old velcro came off.

I use the window suction cup mount as I knew the adhesive would not hold. I suggest going to a hardware store and buying a more adhesive tape and cut to size.

DIP THE SUCTION CUPS IN BOILING WATER FOR A FEW SECONDS TO SOFTEN THEM. DRY THEM AND IMMEDIATELY PUT THEM BACK IN THE WINDOW. I did this a week ago, when the suction cups wouldn't even stay on the window by itself! now it has stayed over a week! my cat sleeps in it every night, AND it is the middle of winter in MN. It works!

No, because the metal bar on the back sticks out further than the suction cups, it won't stick to anything. Don't buy it

Any stick on product should be done over 50 degrees or whatever the manufacturer suggests - warmer temperatures create a better bond. Why risk having them fall off - wait a few weeks for warmer weather.

Good question I tested mine and a kitchen magnet did stick. Hope this helps

Clean both the suction cups and the area where you are going to attach it, then put a few drops of a soapy solution on the cups before you lock them down. They will stick for days and days.

Hey Bob, No!! After about 2 summers the 2 suction cups stiffened and never adhered to the windshield again. Buy a good after market...worth the money...cuz, it's a great detector. Good luck. Keep the detector,it'll save ya. Peace. ✌

Mine didn't stick the first time I used it. It was summertime and hot. Put it on the front of the dashboard and it fell off within a few hours out in the sun.

The suction cup is pliable and a little sticky. I think it may sick to a slightly textured surface. My dash is very slightly textured and mat. I hope I've helped.

Sharon... I had this happen once, and I washed the suction cup with soap and warm water, cleaned the area that I was sticking it to with shower cleaner (I use it on a shower wall)... after that it stuck firmly again. Hope this helps.

I actually just completed covering my window with this today. We are having temps in the 50 so can't tell how it will be in subzero but it adhered really good. It does have air bubbles occasionally like all contact paper. It just doesn't go on perfectly flush no matter how much you work at it.

I don't remember if there were suction cups or not. Sorry. But I used tenter hooks. You would want to use something more secure than a suction cup, even though netting is very lightweight.

I don't use the suction cups. I just fit it on the opening and tuck it under the window frame. Doesn't leave any marks. my car is a 2000 Buick LeSabre.

It sticks great to most surfaces. The suction cups can not be replaced. For the price its great. I use mine all the time.

No. It would have to be a plastic or glass surface for the suction cups to work
