How would I un-warp some suction cups that have been left sitting in the sun for about 6 months? I left them on laying on the dash of my second car. Now that I finally got to moving my radar detector over to my primary car, the stupid cups dont even hold anymore.

I could just cough up the couple bucks and buy some more, but if there is a free way of fixing these things, i would rather go that route.

Thanks!

Hmm… you could try boiling or baking them, to soften them up enough that you can mold them into a stickable shape.
