Can I use this as a handle on the inside of a windshield? Are these strong enough to hold a dog seat cover in place?

Hi Cynthia, these suction cup handles are really strong IF they're used for the intended purpose: Longitudinal pulling. That means pulling up if they are mounted on a horizontal flat surface. They're not really strong but can handle some stress while pulling laterally. And they need to be on a FLAT surface. They will NOT work on a curved surface so please keep that in mind. I don't know how much weight or stress or which direction the stress would pull but they are designed to handle 200 pounds of longitudinal pulling. That's a lot of power. However, one must respect their limitations such as limitations to retain suction power in the suction cups through a large range of temperature changes. Air expands when it gets hot. If you mount the suction cups on cold windows in the morning, they may need to be refastened in the hot afternoon. These are amazingly strong and powerful suction cups and I have designed two hang glider racks for two different vehicles using these cups. What I've learned is that if I spray a small amount of water on the cups before mounting them in place, the suction power will generally last about 12 to 24 hours throughout the broad temp changes. I keep a small spray bottle in my trunk and simply spray each cup just a tad before mounting. They're mounted on my hood and I can guarantee you that I would pull my hood off the car before these cups will come loose. They're that strong. Again, that's in the longitudinal direction. I think I could break them loose if I pulled laterally. But they're still really strong! Glen

Hi Cynthia, as long as the window to which they're mounted is flat, it should work. Good luck!

Personally I wouldn't use it for that purpose. I would get the proper metal cage for your vehicle designed to be a dog cage/barrier.

No, these are not thick enough nor are the interlocking teeth strong enough for a car. I would find something not as soft and larger interlocking teeth. They do work well in my indoor workshop. Hope this helps.Jeremy

This item is used at the entry door of an RV, however if mounted into studs of a wall, I feel it would work well! The handle grip portion swings and locks into position to the left, center(straight out) or right of the black bracket.

I doubt it. They aren't that strong. I have a problem to get them to stick to my car.

Thats actually a good idea! And yes I feel they would. I bought 4 packs of these hooks and maybe 3 of 40 of them were bent. Its a strong metal so unable to bend back but the ones that were useful were strong enough to hold anything.

Although I haven't used them for that purpose, I would certainly think that they would work for that application. They hold the item up off the surface a bit and are soft themselves. Hope this helps!

If you use a heavy duty epoxy it should be strong enough to hold them. And no more the one these little buggers are strong

I think they could be good for that, but there is a hole under the handle, so it would be best to still wear gloves. I find my hands are somewhat curled to grip the scoops and are not flat against the hole, so I don't think this would be a big problem for this application. Definitely better than nothing.

These may work, but I believe they may be too light-duty for a glass truck cap window lift. I use a pair on a 2ftx4ftx3/4" wooden lid for a clothes shoot drop lid. I have to hold the lid while lifting it until it reaches about 80degree point then they have enough pressure to continue lifting on their own. When I lower the lid I have to hold through entire piston compression or the lid will just drop as they won't hold the weight on their own after they get lower than the 80degree point.

Yes, the picture is accurate. The handles are double stitched and seem pretty strong. I've used them to lift her with a loaded pack with no problems. However, I would not use them for climbing, repelling or leash attachment, but they are good grab handles for lifting. There are two metal attachment points for a leash. I've added some pictures of the harness on my dog. She is 75 lbs, 33 1/2 inch chest and 27in at the shoulder (large fits very well with a lot of room).

Yes,it is strong enough.....depending on the surface of the dash and the surface of what you want to hold.

I haven't because my cup holders have foam collars that I can't remove but for the open cup holders I think these could work. It just depends on the car and size cup you're looking to use. As change holders, these liners would work well I think.

Not if they're the same size as a standard car cup holder. They're a little wider than that.

Yes, they hold well at any angle. I've had one mounted vertically next to the glove box in my car for months without any issues.

I would think so, remember you can't roll your windows down (or up) once installed. If your dog is more than 18 lbs these will pull right out of the window if they lean / lay against them. Threw mine away after one week, useless item.

These would be too small for lining a cup holder. They are only about 1 1/2 inches wide at the bottom (barely). You will need a bigger size.
