+juanbob Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Anyone know where a guy could buy replacement suction cups for the Garmin external antenna? The one designed to go on your windshield while driving? Problem is...I use it like that for driving, but then I leave on the external antenna whilst I geocache. The 2 small suction cups are about fried after 3 months of this abuse and I need to buy some replacements. Any ideas? Checked Garmin site, no dice. Looked in Office Depot, nothing fits. I am not buying a new $100 antenna for 2 50 cent suction cups. If you can help, I would be so appreciative. Juanbob Quote Link to comment
+juanbob Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 If it makes a difference, I am using a Garmin GPSMap 196 unit with the included in the package antenna. thanks again. Juanbob Quote Link to comment
+Ttepee Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I recently got a 76s so I'm looking into this antanae thing these days... I don't know at all but would fish tank suction cups do the job? It seems it's about the same diameter tube they are holding... but for the most part are probably not durable enough... I really don't know... just a thought before buying a new unit. Quote Link to comment
+sbukosky Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I was looking at an ''Everything's a Dollar'' type store and found a pack of five identical suction cups with the wire hook like the one that came with my external antenna. Steve Bukosky N9BGH Waukesha Wisconsin Quote Link to comment
