We found some decent suction cups at Harbor Freight for less than $3 each. https://www.harborfreight.com/214-in-suction-cup-lifter-15-lb-62715.html?utm_source=go&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shortener&cid=go_social https://www.harborfreight.com/2-14-in-suction-cup-lifter-15-lb-57498.html?utm_source=go&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shortener https://www.harborfreight.com/2-14-in-suction-cup-lifter-15-lb-57498.html?utm_source=go&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shortener They work very well and stay attached . We use them for the rdome and also for a tarp. Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

We picked ours up at a local Meijer store for $ 3.50 each (Michigan) have had them for 7 years and still working well. A similar product can be found at Walmart for around $ 3 each. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

I honestly never had a problem with the factory supplied suction cups. I woiuls clean the area, lightly moisten the suction cup, press down hard on the center, then with the lock/hook pointed straight up. At that point, press the lock/hook down sideways to lock it on. Now try pulling on it, it's nearly impossible to pull it off. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

We gave up on the suction cups and use bungees, two on each end. Use top hole & middle hole of the dome, attach around frame in front & spare in rear. ------------- John & Sue 2016 179 - built in April 2015 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L 13-16mpg with 179 - 21-28mpg without |
