Used a heat gun, high setting, only for a few seconds (pulled cup away as soon as it started to smoke lol) and IT WORKED! Thank you. Suction cup for transponder on windshield.
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!
Just tried this (boiling water) on suction cups on shower grab bars that wouldn't stick anymore...and so far, it's working!! Thank you very much for sharing this!
I haven't tried it but will do it soon. This are the type of videos I like to see. True results with most people actually trying it and going back to post a positive result. Not like other videos where people comment but never say if it worked or not.
Thanks a lot for this video. It's amazing all the helpful things I can find on RUclips. 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 RUclips. 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!
Mr. Singh!! Going to try this after work with a lighter. Judging by the positive comments, it should work. My dashcam has been sitting in my glove compartment for a month now.
Great Help bro............I was fed up of my mobile holder regularly falling off the dash board even on plain roads and was thinking to buy a costlier one. But, your hot water technique has changed my whole thinking process. I am going to try it sooner than later.
Just tried this (the boiling water method) and I'm impressed at how it sticks again, therefore saving me from buying another mount again :D I'll see how much it holds in the coming days. But for now my hearttelt thanks 🙏🏻
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.
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?
Thank you for this video! The sun has been drying out my dash cam mount and I was ready to just buy another one. I am very happy to reduce plastic waste though and not buy another.
Wow I think these are good ideas. My radar detector mounts don’t stick anymore. Was thinking I need to buy new ones. But I will try your methods first.
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 RUclips to help us with these minor, but frustrating problems?
I just returned to confirm that this trick really works, I used boiling water. The suction cup was not holding more than 4 minutes now have nearly 24 hours and it’s holding better than new. Because of that I will be subscribing and watching all of your videos to see what else I am missing. Thank you so much
I have 2 Tom Tom's from different eras. The older Tom Tom's suction mount is wider and that worked perfectly. The Tom tom 6000's mount failed and also developed a tear once submerging in boiling water. Now I have put superglue into the tear and will try again later
Thanks. I watched this in advance for a window bird feeder. I haven't even put it on the window yet, but I was wondering what to do if it didn't stick. Your comment along with this video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
Bird feeder is still hanging. Lasted the whole Winter and staying strong through the Spring. That includes periodic cleaning and handling of the feeder while the cups remain on the window.
Thanks for your great video. Also, the phone plastic surface to hold the phone got sticky due to being under the sun everyday. It ven gets sticky to the fingers as well. What should I do to fix it ? Thanks
Worked, but still can't believe as I have done it 20mins before 😂😂 hope it doesn't fall. Some RUclipsr's said to use luke warm water but it didn't work untill I put it in boiling water for 1min💧
Mine is working great on bumpy roads too. I think If the suction rubber is free from any scratches or cuts, it will get back to its original suction power after this method.
I’m a truck driver and didn’t have fast access to boiling water but I did use the a lighter and WORKED THANK YOU
That’s great to hear. Thanks for sharing
Don't smoke and drive guy
Thanks, car problem, computer problem etc. always an Indian guy on RUclips ready to help.
Your boiling water idea is fantastic! It brought my 5 year old phone mount back to life! Thanks !!!

Great to know. Thanks for the feedback
Does it still stick?
I did this but after 20mins it wont stick anymore 😢
Trying to fix for months! Boiling water worked! First try it was still wet, and didn’t work. Redid and dried well and voila! Thank you!!!
Thanks to your boiling water trick I was just able to install the cam in my RX350.
You are the best.😊
Finally. No loud music, and you fixed the problem I had, thank you.

Right !!!
Use it to string my weed eater.
Tried the Hot Water method and it worked for me. Thanks again for the video. Saved me from having to buy a new mount 😁
I literally just tried with hot water and it works!!! Omg thank you so much for this video. It makes me really happy hahaha 😀
Mr. Singh!! Going to try this after work with a lighter. Judging by the positive comments, it should work. My dashcam has been sitting in my glove compartment for a month now.
The world needs more Indian people. Thank you sir for a great video.
I tried the boiling water method and it worked!! Thank you so much; you saved me a few quid and another Amazon purchase 😀
Thank you! I will try it when I get home and hopefully it works! You're saving me money! God bless you!

Good luck bro. My dashcam is still on the windscreen after almost 7 months now, never come off.
That actually worked! Can't believe it, it's just basic science
@@namanmutta7562
Bro this will work on any mount and how much time should i wait before repasting the mount after cleaning with boiled water

How is it doing?
How’s it doing tbh
Velcro also works I believ
Thanks you stopped a world of headaches
Excellent video!!

Might have to try my heat gun on my suction cup and see how that works?
I spent over an hour on this but couldn’t get I think I’ll try this method
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?
@@d19jordan57 Agreed, resting shape should be flat; heating the rubber into cone shape is the opposite of what you want.
Thank you for this video! The sun has been drying out my dash cam mount and I was ready to just buy another one. I am very happy to reduce plastic waste though and not buy another.
Worked for me as well, a universal replacement was $10 and it took me 10 seconds to fix the issue , a dollar a second.

Which company radar
Yes, I too was about to throw my Car Cam away and just buy another
This is a much-needed video! I was about to throw my webcam for my car away I was so disgusted with it falling off!
I’m hoping you didn’t throw it now😊
@@sukhsomal No, I followed what the video said, and my Car Cam has been sticking ever since. Great video😁👍🏾!!!
@@Ms.Mimi.Speaks which one the lighter or boiling water?
I was trying to mount a brand new tpms display and it wasn't close to sticking. The lighter method worked great. Thank you so much.
Just tried the boiling water method and it worked thank you😊

You're the GOAT!! Thank you. #2 was faster and worked for me
The first technique works. Boiling water! Thank you 😊

I don't really comment. But worked like a charm! Thanks!
Good to know. Thanks
I just tried it as I had a problem with it. Trick with fire works. Thank you :D
You are a god send! Thank you for sharing such great advice. I plan on using your methods to fix my dash cam mount.

Hi, thank you for your ideas. I tried the boiling water method but it didn't work. I will try the cigarette lighter method.
Boiling water worked, thank you
Great tips. Thank you.
What is the brand of that dash camera please?
sorry don't know the camera brand as I sold the car along with the camera 🙂
Thanks bro your trick worked for me
Wasing with hot water worked for me 👍
I’m going to try this. Thank you!
Going to use the hot water method & hope it will work.
What if my mount is brand new and falls off. Should I still do these? I wonder if gravity and phone weight affects them. Thanks for these tips.
@@erriconeale6924 you can try the hot water, there is no harm
Thank you for your help. I have a question, how long will it stick (hold dash cam?)
I fixed mine using this method. Still working fine, it’s been like 5 months now.
@@sukhsomal Ok. Thanks for a quick reply! :)
@@sukhsomal it worked thanks bro
Worked, but still can't believe as I have done it 20mins before 😂😂 hope it doesn't fall. Some RUclipsr's said to use luke warm water but it didn't work untill I put it in boiling water for 1min💧
Is it still working,
@@xinarin yes
this worked!!! thank you so much!!
My pleasure
Very helpful indeed, thank you.
Hair dryer works great too, just have to do it for longer.
Great ... How is it holding up? Does this eally last?
thx for your help best wishes
Thanks for the video. Is it holding on bumpy roads?
Mine is working great on bumpy roads too. I think If the suction rubber is free from any scratches or cuts, it will get back to its original suction power after this method.
@sukhneet singh, which method did you try ? Boiling water or lighter flame
Will definitely try this ! …. Thanks !
Thanks it worked for me
Yup it worked for the dash
I heard you can use cumin and cardimum to seal the cups
Amazing. It works!
Quite helpful ❤
Good! I’ll try just today 😊
Thanks for this... So pissed cos mine won't stop falling off
Great brother,thanx for such a great advice.
Wow can't wait too try this
Shouldve watched this video before i left the house. I hope it works. Edit will come later of results.
