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

[rondog]

I've always just used the stuff for that purpose from the auto parts store. But yes, razor blade and iso alcohol first, get it all CLEAN! First thing to do though is mark the outside of the windshield where the mounting block needs to go. If there's any sign left of where it was, old adhesive, etc., just put a mark with a Sharpie or piece of masking tape over that on the outside. Makes it a lot easier to locate the mounting block.

Don't try to mount the whole mirror, just do the block and put the mirror on it when it's cured. Might put some tape over the block to hold it in place while the adhesive cures.

And don't put the block on upside down or sideways - that'll make your ass red.....

Thanks all, it always helpful here. I ended up stopping buy Safelite on 120th and 10 minutes later, no charge mirror is on and solid.

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.

And don't over tighten set screw.
