i took my old heater suction cups and threw them into boiling water for 10 seconds and they got all rubbery again and they were like bran new!!! Try it at your own risk though I messed one up becuase I left it in there too long. Try 5 seconds in the bioling water first to see if it fixes it. You are talking about the Rubber Suction cups that hold your heater on the side of the tank right?? Cause that is what I am talking about.
