Sticking Rear View Mirror back on?

Post by Ferg » Sat Jul 27, 2024 2:16 pm

Not exactly highly technical but I have now been through three different sticky pad options which were all crap. Tried a superglue option which hasn't held.

Back in the day you just popped into auto windscreens and asked for a mirror tab. They were mega strong solid adhesive tabs.

I've almost run out of ideas at this point. There's an evostick product that I haven't tried but that's about it.

Am I doing it wrong?

I had the same issue and then bought the proper glue.

Number plate tape?
That's usually pretty strong.
