Rear View Mirror

Post by Mark Norton » Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:25 pm

Hi, I have problems with the stick on rear view mirror, it keeps falling off the windscreen and I now have damage to the dash.

It is often adjusted due to more than one driver and never stays up for long. Any modifications anyone?

To fix a mirror to glass you MUST use the right glue and you MUST make sure the glass and the mirror mount are absolutely clean.

Not just clean, ABSOLUTELY clean, no old glue anywhere, screen cleaned with alchohol, the works.

As said - The best place to get it done properly is a windsceen fitting centre.

The rear view windscreen mounted mirror isn't stuck on....it slides into a metal lug which is bonded into the windscreen.... as said Windscreen depot is first port of call

I have used Loctite Rear-view Mirror Adhesive in the past with good results, as said the area MUST be dry and clean, it is also advisable to split the stalk from the mount first.


PS make sure that the swivel is not too tight.
