Suckers!

[skippydiesel]

I debated where and if I should list this very important enquiry.

 

Suckers!  You know what I mean, don't pretend you don't.

 

Those concave rubberish disk thingies (technical term), that hold your phone, GPs, whatever, bracket, to the window.

 

My question is:- When the sucker bit starts to perish & won't stay "stuck" for as long as when new - what do you do?

 

Is there:

• A repair/renewal technique?
• Some secret web stores,  that will supply a new replacement?
• Must I dig deep and spend the kids inheritance on a whole new bracket with sucker?

 

Please do not suggest drilling holes or using adhesive pads. Thanks

😈

They have a fairly short effective life especially if they get in the sun.  You can't fully rely on them either. Nev

Ok, I won’t, but if I was allowed to, then I would. 😜

And, at our age, I'd be so bold as to suggest adhesive pads.

You need to replace the suction cup or mount.

 

Phone/GPS mount suction cups will last much longer if you remove them from the windscreen/window when they are not being used and

then reapply them next time you want to use them. You can get over 5 years out of them this way.

 

The perspex/glass the suction cup is attached to is heat cycled daily and as well as eventually causing it to fall off also shortens the cups life.

So much fun when they appear at our feet unexpectidly. A few problems to keep us on our toes.

Just don't fly past mobile camera's, and you should be ok? maybe, mabe not, keep a keen mail on mailbox for any nasties.
