    Holy shit! I tried the boiling water method and it works! I'm sentimental when it comes to certain things. I've had my car mount since 2014 and didn't want to throw away the memories associated with it. Thank you so much! I appreciate you!

    Thanks a lot for this video.
    It's amazing all the helpful things I can find on CZcams. Things that you would think would never be there or who would make a video about this or that and sure enough when I go to look it up..... there it is, someone made a video about just what I was looking for.
    I've saved so much money by looking up "fixes" on CZcams.
    I've fixed my bicycle
    My refrigerator several times. Hundreds of dollars saved on just that alone.
    Plumbing
    and now this, a little suction cup that that doesn't stick anymore and I thought no one would have made a video for that.... and here it is!

    @EisBlade Před rokem +17

    Excellent video!!
    One suggestion though - Press the suction lever down before dipping into hot water to form the rubber into a better stronger cone. Direct flame damages rubber, but any very hot heat source at a safe distance works as a decent alternative to water.

    • @d19jordan57
      @d19jordan57 Před 9 měsíci +4

      It seems like that would defeat the purpose of the lever, which is to form a concave surface and the suction that goes with it. If the resting shape of the cup is made more concave wouldn't you reduce the vacuum effect when pressing the lever down?

    • @jwonz2054
      @jwonz2054 Před 9 měsíci +1

      @@d19jordan57 Agreed, resting shape should be flat; heating the rubber into cone shape is the opposite of what you want.

      @sukhsomal  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks. Hopefully you’ll save the money by using these methods. If the suction rubbers have any cut marks or hard scratches then only alternate is to buy new one. If it’s just missing the stickiness, then they’ll be repaired by these methods

    I'd assumed my problem with the sticker was due to humidity, but I now think it was just usage over the last few years.
    As well as using just boiled water, I set the 'lock' to unlocked. The 'dimple' in the centre disappeared, I guess that was a 'Factory reset'. The difference was dramatic and looks very promising😀 Thank you Sukhneet. What would we do without CZcams to help us with these minor, but frustrating problems?
