My suction cups don't stay secure. Has anybody come up with an alternate way to connect the sides flaps of the dome to the Rpod?

I've heard to warm them up in warm water first if it's cold where you are , It helps them stick better???

Wetting them helps. Methodology is up to you.

Replace the factory with ones that are better and you will never have an issue. One brand that you can find in all major home stores, Amazon, and Walmart all for cheap is the Power Lock brand.

We carry about 12 or so with our Pod, hang towels on the Pod, Jackets, dog leashes, and they hold our dome to the Pod extremely well. Sometimes even hard to pull them off at the end of a trip.
