I cannot get the suction cups to stick to my window. Any hints??

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.

I didn't have any problems. Try pulling the little tabs on the cup edges away from the window a little as you push the cup onto the window... this makes the cup flatter. If that doesn't work, try wetting the suction cups - I've done that before with suction cups in a shower caddy.

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!

Clean the window and the suction cups. Wait until dry then place. Should stick very well after that. I haven't had any problems since.

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.

Clean the window make sure everything is dry and just follow directions in the box.. Sometimes I have issues with suction cups too, not sure why.. Once you get it to stick don't take it off. And, it might not work as well for heavier cats, our cat is very light.

Make sure the window is VERY clean. I used a tiny dab of oil and spread it on the inside of each cup (doesn't take much). The perch has been up for a couple of months and withstood opening and closing of the window as well as the cats jumping in and out.

You have to clean the window and the suction cups. Mine slip off from time to time and I just wipe down the suction cups with a wet cloth. The moisture helps it stick better.

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 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.

The little red things are just arrows to show you the direction of rotation. There is a suction cup at the back that you push on to the wind shield and then turn the cover of the suction cup to cause the suction cup to stick, best if window is clean before applying.

Hi,I bought one of these over 2 years ago and here's how I mounted it:1. Clean the area where you want to attach the bar(I used rubbing alcohol-l also cleaned the suction cups at each end)2. At each end of the bar there is a dial with "lock" & "unlock" direction shown with arrows.3. Position the bar where you want to mount it, press down firmly and turn the dials to the "lock" position 4. To release the bar turn the dials in the opposite direction.Hope this helps-Good Luck!!

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.

I did the same. I found some higher quality suction cups that i could stick on the side and would hold it up. Keep them in the bag for when i use it

There's a little tab that sticks out beyond the edge of the cup. Try to pick that up and slip your finger underneath all the way around to release the suction cup. If you can't get your finger in, try something soft so you don't scratch the dashboard, maybe something like a Q-tip.

mmm look at some of the pictures I had posted. Is that what you are referring to? I know the suction cups were so thin that they really did nothing.

There is an adhesive disk that you can stick to dash and then use the suction cup mount on it or just use the suction cup on the window if that is legal where you live.

Try to use some double sided tape. Once you install the guards I. The channels roll the windows up and let them stay up for about 30 min

I have a 2006 scion Xa. Window is almost vertical. No problems with suction cups. I spray a little water on window to help with seal.

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. ✌

I gave it to my cousin as a Christmas gift, so really have no idea. I would think just pull it off the window, clean it and suction cup it back up.

I've never had a problem with it. Don't Stick it on when your windshield is or has been in direct sunlight. Maybe try wetting the suction cup.. Hope that is helpful.

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.
