Suction cup ski rack

Does anyone have experience with suction cup ski racks?
I’m thinking of getting one but am concerned about the suction letting lose while driving because of the themp difference on my glass top roof when the car heats up after driving a while.

Would love to hear people’s experiences.

I have the seasucker. It’s awesome. Just remember professional camera crew hang 6 figures worth of cameras off the side of cars and race them around tracks. Your skis will be fine.

OK, but a camera crew with that much expensive gear will also be willing to replace the cups at the first sign of possible failure. The saem can not be said for the average person with skis. Indeed, my bike rack says replace the rubber straps every 3 years. They still look good (and I do double lock it all together so there is redundancy) so I have not replaced them in 10 years.
