if you boil them for a little while they regain flexibility again.

If you do go the neodymuim magnet route. Make sure they are coated because uncoated will rust.
These magnets are incredible strong....don't confuse them with fridge magnets. Small magnets go a long way with their power. Depending how big you go, they can unexpectedly jump out of your hands and clash together.
Just be careful placing them on either side of the glass. If they catch you off guard and smash the glass, I wouldnt be surprised if it could shattered the glass.
Here is a link with coated magnets and the give the power rating in pounds for a single magnet. Two magnets together would essentially double the poundage.

i got in the magnets today. odd thing is they shipped on the 17th... i don't know how they got from Oregon to Ct in a day.
they come with 2 rubber washers inbetween them, but OMG were they strong. I put superglue in the middle of the cradle where the suction cups go, and put one magnet there. On the outside, i put a rubber washer along the glass and the other magnet. INSANELY strong even through 1/2" glass. I'm now wondering if the magnet is going to cause an issue with the maxijet motor...
