Default Suction cup behind the rear view mirror?

I know this is a very basic question but what are people doing to use a suction cup over the black dimples behind the rear view? I just hardwired my dash cam and it doesn't hold on that surface. I moved it to the right temporarily but the plan was always to have that and the radar detector behind the mirror out of view.

My first though was a string clear double sided tape but that didn't feel too polished if a solution.

I took some clear regular elmers glue and put a thin layer of it on the suction cup...it's been fine since thanksgiving.
