Default Windscreen and dashboard suckers

In article , steve@walker-
family.me.uk says...

I know that back in the'70s, my dad used a Retrovisor (see
http://www.mycaravan.org.uk/Images/G...Retrovisor.jpg for an
example). It was held to the car by suckers (to the roof rather than the
glass) and ISTR was far firmer with a smear of gelatine on the suckers.


Yes, I was wondering about a smear of oil or grease of some
sort but I don't have any gelatine.

Would a drop of light oil be suitable?

What about WD40? The white spirit content should be good for
cleaning both glass and sucker bit is there sufficient oil
residue to maintain the seal?
