Defective by design or manufacturing. Mistake covered up by glue for suction cup.

I found it odd upon opening that the suction cup was smeared with a type of glue... 3 months later, under the hot California sun, the glue melted. I cleaned it off and realized that the suction cup was not made of the usual rubbery material but just soft plastic and could never have provided complete seal for suction. So some body must have screwed up in the design or manufacturing process and decided to work around it with glue! Well, look at the picture and you can see the result. It is a piece of trash now.
