How to fix a Suction Cup that won't stay STUCK... A Sure Fire Fix.... 

Great video!! I just bought my second GPS suction cup and always used water to stick it but this is a MUCH BETTER idea! Thank you.

This is a great hack! My dash cam just came off because of this problem. Never had issue since I bought it about a year ago. I immediately went on the internet to find replacement and found one that’s compatible for $30! Insanely overpriced. Then you are to add the shipping cost plus the wait time for delivery! This not only saves me money but also time! Thank you so much!

It worked perfectly..I had given up. Thank you

Works for a day in Florida heat!

Wow! Love this!

Took a heat gun to it.. worked perfect. thanx

I used my car heater at the highest temp and full force. Htuck the suction cup near the vent for 5 min. Worked for a month

Tried the lighter trick with no real hope yet it worked a treat!

Great idea!!

awesome video, worked perfectly!

Thanks for this! Having the same problem with my dash cam.

Must be a next base mine is what I'm trying to fix now

Blow dryer in a semi! Few seconds on high heat !! Thanks!!!!!

Be careful, I tried it with hot water and it worked a bit. Then I used a hairdryer and it got better. Then I wanted to make it even straighter with the lighter and it got melted, damaging it inreversably.

thanks , i think i have exactly the same car cam as you and it wont stay on the window.

How long do you think that'll last?????

Salty hot water

kinda like shrink wrap 🤔

Just glue it

Holding a lighter open for 15 minutes? You do make life harder for yourself. Use a hair dryer, or hold it over the edge of a stove top element.

Thanks but dude land the plane

Jack, you are wrong. That depression under the suction cup has the role of allowing the suction cup to catch a small volume of air under it, air that will be pushed out from under the suction cup when you apply it to the place where you need it. In this way, a vacuum will be created under the suction cup, and the suction cup will be fixed there precisely because of the atmospheric pressure, which is slightly higher than the pressure under the suction cup. What you are doing there with the lighter is ... pathetic. You can improve the original product, even if it is older, with a double-adhesive silicone sheet, which will increase even more the adhesion of the suction cup on the windshield. I wanted to attach a picture but I can't.

Even easier fix. BOIL WATER. Fill a coffee mug 1/4 INCH of water. Put the suction cup in face down. (With no tension on the spring). This will flatten it out quicker and easier/cleaner. I still cleaned mine afterwards with some alcohol. Thanks for the tip. That's what made me find this other way!
