We had one particular install that required you to install 8'x4' sheets of glass and without these that would have been a nightmare. Couple of tips for use- never place them with the suction cup side down onto a surface that might not be clean as they'll pick up dirt which can cause a bad seal, don't get dirt or grease onto the suction cups (watch where you handle them), and it never hurts to be a bit particular about the cleanliness of the surface where you're attaching.
