| Didn't have this problem as much last year, but this year my fucking radio keeps falling off when my car hits bumps. The rubber the suction cups are made of gets too hard when temp drops below 40 degrees. Fuckin' Chinese crap. |

| The windshield mount is just not a good solution. I used the clip from the windshild mount and firmly attached it to the dash with a screw. |

I'm in below 40 degree weather for weeks now.
What works well for me is to get the cup wet before you stiick it on. Have not had it fall off in over a month. |

By the way, I use suction cups in 3 different cars with no problems for over a year. Get it wet and it works:bigup: |

| I'm in Minnesota. I just let the defroster run for about 10 minutes and then stick the thing onto the windsheild. Seems like it wont work if the glass is below freezing. The moisture on the suction cup (you have to get it wet to make it work) just freezes and it falls off. Mine stays on all day if I heat the windsheild though. I use it for the morning commute in my truck and transfer it to my work van for the day and then back to my truck without problems this way. |

| No, but I can't seem to keep a signal lately. I was on the interstate in NJ today and lost a signal. It was driving me crazy because the signal was in and out. |

i have the same problem, in cold and hot weather, it seems about every month or month and a half i will restick it to the windshield, oh well, i can live with it, until it wont stick anymore.
i just lick it and make sure that the cup is warm and same with the winsheild, thats all i can do with it |
