Rear View Mirror - What sort of Voodoo Magic holds them on?

[ray1970]

If it helps, don't glue the mirror back on. Glue the little metal mount and let that set up for a bit. One drop of the special "rear view mirror" adhesive is almost too much. Also, clean the windshield and the little mount button with a razor blade and then some isopropyl alcohol before regluing it.

I've done probably a hundred of them and have had excellent results.

Had to do it a hundred time ? That doesn't sound like very good luck to me............

Your instructions are the key, the last time I had to do one, I left the metal piece taped up after gluing for a couple of days before putting the mirror back up.
