Too much water will cause the cup to slip and too little won’t provide enough suction.When placing the suction cups onto the window press onto the glass for a few seconds before releasing the pressure to create a vacuum seal.
When taking down your blind if you have used any of the optional frame fasteners provided, gently separate these from the hook and loop patches on the blackout blind first. Then, carefully pull the tab on the suction cups to release the vacuum seal to the window.
