If I clean my windshield I won’t know where to put the detector.

[@ca6vtec]

L0L’z .. it feels off when its not on that sweet spot

[@SecretSauceyjuice]

😂

[@Shilly_JD]

GG - I cannot even think of how much money I have spent on replacing suction cups in the past 30+ years w/ Cincinnati Microwave (amongst others).

[@sflscott11]

Disclaimer: Remove suction cups from radar detector before boiling! You just never know 😉

[@oSnapMillerTime]

Now you tell me 🎉

[@Zach.3246]

Why? I want to clean the radar, too

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Don't drive your car in a hot spring too+

[@TUDORMARCU16]

Tried this with a suction cup for a camera mount. It works the first time, but they last less each time you do this.
The reason why suction cups fail is because the rubber (or plastic) they are made of gets stiff (usually UV rays and plastic don't get along too well). Boiling them makes the rubber soft again.

[@yiyoproductions]

I put a tiny bit of water on the cups before attaching them and I have noticed that it lasts a lot longer.

[@392nightrunner]

I boiled my r360c and now it works great! No more check fr errors

[@VortexRadar]

🤣

[@M54B30_fan]

Funny enough yesterday one of mine was off on my r7 when I was going to drive yesterday. It’s happened a few times, and I’ve used them for about a year and a half now. Probably going to have to try this soon, thanks!

[@stephenwilson7990]

3rd party attachment systems with adjustable suction
Like a benchmount type thing,
something with a twist or snap on thingy something that goes on flat and becomes a suction cup because you did something to it, intended by the design of the thingy

[@BikesNThings]

I always just gave them a good lick 😂. Btw brother, we’re overdue I feel like for a Virginia video. You know what I’m talking about…!

[@leea6756]

I got myself a blend mount and love it

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

Just tried this on the suction cup on the sponge holder for the kitchen sink. BTW, the 'lick the suction cup' was no longer working. Your tip worked great. We will see how long it lasts before reapplying the tip.

[@VortexRadar]

Glad to hear it! Keep me posted. 👍

[@mikec6447]

Nice tip!
Just boiled mine up!

[@Mopar.Country]

Giving this a try as we speak!

[@whatsmynameagain7774]

They went from black to transparent nice

[@VortexRadar]

Magic!

[@83RBurke]

Nice choice 👍 n subway tile!

[@Damitsall]

VORTEX RADAR IS THE BEST

[@mikeprice8307]

What about the suction cup came with the escort passport max radars?

[@Abubububu]

Awesome tip, I have other things using suction cups and there all deformed

[@sigbauer9782]

Don't forget to season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

[@EatLotsOfCurry]

I just like the suction cups and plunk the radar back on the windshield. I’ll try this method next time.

[@fauj7860]

Just spit ont it ,works most of the time and on most things 😂

[@VortexRadar]

That’s what she said

[@BERFINSPICKLE]

I went through 3 uniden plastic pieces in about 18 months. Now I just a phone holder with a magnet I paid $5 for at ross

[@lanceglawson1974]

Just get a rear view mirror mount. Professional look.

[@alfredozertuche784]

Here in Texas they melt😂😂

[@RandornCanis]

3M Command two part strips.

[@chrislambe400]

I normally use bakers peas in my soup, but suction cups, yeah I could go with that.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

What about those sticky type suction cups, with leavers? The type that comes with the Max360?

[@ZboeC5]

My R7 came with two mounts, one cheap one like shown here but also a really nice one like you describe. I can't figure out why anyone would use the cheap, crappy mount. People are dumb.

[@Hi.Al.]

Do you know what happened to radenso? Contacted them multiple times because of problems and didn't respond, what gives?

[@lyfandeth]

Easier: Replace them with 3M's industrial grade hook and loop fastener. It is the "better than Velcro" that comes with some toll passes. Yes, you need to put a strip on the windshield too, but both sides are the same.

[@j.ballsdeep420]

Technically speaking Velcro is still a hook and loop touch fastner and they have improved over time, but you are 100% accurate that 3M makes far better hook and loop fastners than even the original name-brand company, Velcro. Sad to see 3M eating shit now days

[@lajonlegend8440]

I don’t have a detector yet😢

[@larrygoldman2530]

Or buy a Blendmount and call it a day!

[@robertalcala1385]

Radar detector fall down suction cup bracket to windshield!

[@aaronkendrick8483]

360 or R8😂

[@deebee68]

Blend mount end of discussion

[@4motion443]

Suuperrr 👏👏

[@theshazman]

Blendmount

[@stubbycooler3855]

Don’t lick and drive

[@huggybear4587]

Just use better cups. I rarely ever replace mine.
