driving along tonight and my mirror took a turn to face downwards. Must have been barely hanging on , i suppose I am lucky it didnt fall of all together !

one of the dowel rod type thingys has snapped , can this be glued back on ?

Did someone have a similar issue not long ago ?

Same happened to mine, superglue is your friend.

did you actually use superglue kenny ?

I was thinking somthing a little more industrial ? would hate for it to fall off!

Sure I spotted Mrs Lazydonkey hanging around in the vicinity with a screwdriver when your back was turned!!

It was Ali that glued it back on, worth pming him to find out what he used.

lol not guilty your honour!

Superglue was too techincal for Kenny....he used duct tape!

I don't think you can get orange duct tape. You can get blue though, which would tie in nicely with the brake pads

Looks for pics of the RLC to see orange duct tape!

The universal fixing tool, in a similar fashion to the angle grinder being the universal dismantling tool.

You too will become familiar in the ways of the duct tape, tis only a matter of time before you turn to the dark side....

Mine fell off at the speedfair, it is now stuck on with a big wad of silicone the plus side is the silicone stays flexiable where the glue could crack with vibration.

change the track eh !

I entered the duck tape club few weeks ago when I had the wheels off , One of my wheel arches must have came loose at one point the tyre burned/cut right through the plastic, new wheel arch , £2.50 in black .

I think I will opt for the silicone , Just ordinary silicone ?

ahhh...Sticking things together never know what to use , so many diffferent glues/silicones/epoxy bonds etc. etc. can get confusing .

Relax, it's called banter, no chance of us dropping that one any time soon it's too good. Just like we will never let DDtB forget his special talent (both the feet behind the head and the brakes pads on backwards special talents) or let Meatybaws forget the fact he drives like an old woman. All part of the fun.
