What's the trick to getting the suction cups to stick to the window? I haven't even filled it yet and it keeps falling down!

First clean your window and the suction cups. Make sure both are dry. A trick that I learned was not to use water on the suction cups. I lightly spread vegetable oil on the suction cups and they will adhere all summer.

Make sure your window is clean then firmly hold suction cups to window for 1 minute & you should be good to go. I've never had mine fall

Make sure the window is clean. Then put a tiny amount of moisture on the suction cup and push onto window. My has stayed up for several months. I had baby hummers there yesterday!!

I clean the glass and the suction cups, dampen the suction cups and apply pressure too, and then wait a couple of hours before placing the feeder on the holder. That usually holds for a month or so, then one suction cup gives out and I have to clean and reapply. Rain and wind will cause the cups to lose suction too.

I have two jewel feeders that I attached to my deck railings - just using pipe cleaners ( no drilling needed). Prior to that, I did have the feeder stuck to my sliding glass door - I had to wet the back of the suction cups and then push it very tightly against the glass. I removed it from there, though, because it didn't work well with the sliding screen...

Clean the glass and cups with some isopropyl (not rubbing) alcohol first. My feeder (now on its third year) came with a note showing which way the tabs on the cups should be pointing so that they're parallel; I don't know if they still do that. I'll find out after I order my second one. That's crucial to their sticking well. Dunk the cups in water, then apply. Mine's still holding after a month.

I have had success soaking the suction cups in hot water before putting them on the window too. Definitely a clean window and damp suction cups are a must. Make sure you push the cups completely to the window, with no air between. If the weather is especially hot, or cold, that can make them pop off too. When the suction cups get old and are not as pliable, they don't hold as well either.

I didn't use the suction cups, but screwed it into the side of my balcony railing.

Mine does not fall from the shower wall because every 2 months, I take the suction cup holder off, clean the shower wall off and the holder, make sure all surfaces are dry and then put the holder back on the shower wall. Hope this will help you.

Interesting. Mine stuck right away. I pressed them down really hard to make sure they were on. Bottom ones first. It could be the glass or maybe a coating on the glass. Have you cleaned the window thoroughly? Maybe wipe the suction cups down with rubbing alcohol. Mine have stayed put so well I'm still in shock it works! I suggest contacting the makers for ideas if mine don't work. Also consider the temperature inside and out, in case that may be a factor. At the very least the company could send you replacement suction cups. Maybe YouTube has video tips as well. I hope you can get it figured out. Your cat(s) will love this bed! My 12 pounder is in it now, snoring away. Good luck! Interesting. Mine stuck right away. I pressed them down really hard to make sure they were on. Bottom ones first.

I cleaned my window with rubbing alcohol to get all grease - oils off. Wet my finger to put small amount on suction cup. Press it on and lock. Stays on my window for weeks. If closed car gets really hot the suction cup releases. I just repeat and good to go. Good luck.

It has Velcro that sticks to the window. But we didn't use it, we just used the window suction cups. And it stayed up just fine. We only drove for about 10 miles the one time we used it though. Haven't taken a long trip with it yet. We took it out of the car after our short drive and it fit nicely back in the plastic holder it came in. Then it fit nicely but tight next to the spare tire under the back compartment. Good Luck, Joe

I haven't had a problem with mine since I bought it. I dampened each cup with a little water, and they stuck. However, if you tug at the cups, of course, the suction will break. If you don't have unruly children the table will, probably, be o.k. Mine is, usually, covered with papers, and I pick it up and move it around. It is light weight. You can, probably, apply some type of permanent adhesive by going to someplace like Home Depot; Quite likely you won't need it. The frosted side of the glass is meant to be face up.

Hi, They work on the window but not on the dashboard. My suggestion is to avoid using the suction cups for several reasons. 1 - When it gets bitter cold the spit or whatever you used to mount it freezes and the whole thing falls off the window. 2 - If you plan to remove it after use there is a mark on the window that advertises you have one in the car though with prices falling it's less likely it will be stolen these days. 3 - It is illegal in some states to use a window mount. 4 - The sandbag is more stable and vibrates a lot less.

I have had mine up for a few weeks, it has not moved. It snowed where I live last night and still is stuck fast on the window. This seems, so far, like a very sturdy product.

First clean the window with windex. Them soak the suction cups in warm water for about 5 min. Dry them off and quickly press them to the glass. Mine worked for about a year and then the suction cups dried out and no longer worked so the whole seat went in the garbage. I would not recommend this product.

It is too big so I have not mounted it. I f I were it would be with velcro or double sided tape. Suction cup to the window would even be better.

Yup used to have the same problem, change the surface( the smoother the better ) and clean before put the suction cup.

It has to be mounted on the window - I tried the dash - but the suction didn't take due to the rough pattern of the dash.

It's not suspose to stick to the wall. If you want to hang it from the wall or window buy the optional suction cup adapter.

Put some soap on the wall than put the holder up. Also worked on suction cup shelves. Put it on. Let it sit / dry over night. I also keep one on my windshield in my truck behind my rear view mirror.

you need to make your window wet with soap water and stick it on the window while its wet and let it dry as it is and it will stay glued on but be careful not to open the window for a day or 2 and please note it goes in the inside. you can check on youtube for clear videos with instructions

I didn't get Instruct. Either, I just clean the window very well, Make sure its dry. You will have one shot at this. I had someone help me hold / line it up, So take your time, I started in the center and worked my way out would, I used a credit card. Then slowly peal the backing off making sure it is sticking. I'm not sure if this is the right way but it worked for me. Good Luck.

As for it falling down, put one velcro strip on the very top attach to the top of it and to the window. I did that with mine 6 months ago and it NEVER fell. If I wanted to, I can take it down since it's velcro. The velcro is only an inch or less so it's not noticeable.
