Still have ours in a bag.. just couldn't get up the gumption to poke all them holes in our new pod.. still can't after 5 seasons. We honestly were never really bothered by the flap issue, and only use the suction cups to control the tapping noise of the grommets on breezy nights.

I was told to soak the suction cups in hot water just before using.

Are there some written instructions and youtube instructions on how to put it on a 178. I have arthritis in both hands and will be having my hubbie help me...needs visual. Thanks.

Thanks so much for your note. We did buy some of the large Inter Design power lock suction cups and I think they will work great. In fact, I attached one to the side of an upright freezer in our garage and had one heck of a time getting it to loose it's grip. We have our R-179 up for sale as we just bought the new R-180. We're keeping the R-Dome and will be using the cups on the new trailer. Have a great 4th.

The suction cups shown above appear to be the same ones that came with my dome-that do not work? The Amazon link takes you to a suction cup thats currently unavailable. Still looking for a good alternative?
