Post by David ZAll mirrors I've seen are attached to the windscreen but they are attached
in such a way that even pulling with a great deal of force would not cause
it to budge. These things are designed and tested so that kind of thing
doesn't happen. But in the extremely unlikely event it did, I would take it
back to the dealer rather than try and do some dodgy job yourself.
Post by t***@beerlover.comThe rear vision mirror on a friend's car has fallen off (the type that is
glued to the windscreen).
Is there a cheap substitute for the excessively expensive "Rear Vision
Mirror Adhesive" that is sold
by auto parts shops?
Would 5 minute Araldite do the job?
Thanks.
Just one word of warning. My daughter replaced her own mirror using the two
pack "proper stuff". She first removed the piece of metal from the mirror
and glued it on first. Worked well, but when refitting the mirror she must
have levered too much and cracked the glass. Nice split about 150mm long.
After a couple of days heat cycling in the sun it reached from top to
bottom. I suspect some excess glue may have made the mirror tight to refit.
The windscreen replacement person removed the whole mirror and "piece of
metal" in one go from the old screen and glued it in one piece without
dismantling.. He counted to 40 then said that's it and then fitted the new
windscreen into the vehicle. It's mighty powerful stuff. And quick.
