Title: Unsuitable plastic literally melts apart
Product review: This is more substantial than other suction cup toll pass holders I've had, but the black version should be avoided because the material loses its shape in normal summertime temperatures even here in the mid-Atlantic. I installed two of these in different cars, and in both cases after several months of satisfactory operation they began to fall off their windshields, not because the suction cups had failed but because the tabs they're attached to had softened and distorted so they were no longer coplanar. In fact, the clear suction cups act like miniature lenses, focusing the sun onto the black plastic around them until it actually melts. One suction cup completely melted through its mount.Wrong type of plastic for this application, and it also would behoove the manufacturer to switch to opaque suction cups. I might try the white one - which should absorb less sunlight as heat - since I do like the design.
