Rearview Mirror Fell Off!
Thursday, January 19, 2006 2:23 PM
WTF do i stick it back up with?

i tried crazy glue and it fell next day. then i tried more expensive crazy glue and it held for 2 weeks, then it fell. it might hold up better if not for the system, but as soon as i turn the volume up it starts shaking and then eventually falls.

what do they use to stick it on in the first place? i cant think of anything that bonds metal to glass

They make special glue for that, you can get it at any auto store.

It looks like this

There are different brands. I bought the loctite one for my cav and it has been holding for over a year. I actually cut myself using the razor blade that was included in the kit. I was trying to get the old glue off the window and ended up cutting my finger and getting blood on my interior and the driveway.. Be careful.

just tell them what you need to do, theyll know what kit it is..its only like 5 bucks...if that


Word of advice though.

Take a peice of glass chalk...And outline the old glue on the outside of the windsheiild. It makes it much easier to place the bracket up there after you clean the old glue off..

i wouldnt have a problem with outlining it as i have a bit of tint up there and i had to cut around the mirror when i put the tint on. so when the mirror fell off, theres a little ring of untinted glass where it used to be.

when i ask whats it called, i mean what kind of flue is it. where i live the kit might not be avaiable. i'll check tomorrow, but just incase i might have to buy the individual glue
