Barnacle mirror ????

Post by almondgreen »

I have a Barnacle navigator mirror and want to fit it.
But it does not stick to the window.
What can I that it keeps sticking at my window ?

Lots of spit usually does the trick.

wash rubber sucker in hot soapy water then check to see if rubber has deteriorated causing cracks in the ribs which will allow air back into the rubber bowl which will cause loss of suction rubbing sucker vigorously in the soapy with you thumb should be harsh enough to remove perished rubber .do not be tempted to tighten the barnacle nut to hard as they tend to split
