hey can any one point me in the direction of installing a mirror? ive tried the kits at bennet auto supply and everytime the glue never dries up
even after two days and the mirror falls. Also ive tried cement and that fell off too. I dont know what to do so ne suggestions????

 

are you talking about the glass?? or the mirror itself?

 

ooops..ya im talking about the piece that connects to the actual windshield

 

well, if your talking about the whole mirror, then there should be atleast one bolt holding it on? right? i mean...glue is deffinatley a permenent solution...

 

If you're talking about the inside rearview mirror: They are glued onto the windshield from the factory. There is a little metal piece that glues to the windshield and the mirror is secured to that bracket with a set screw.

You need to buy the correct adhesive to re-attach the bracket to the windshield. Any auto parts store will have it- I believe it's called "rearview mirror adhesive" or something similar.

Just glue the bracket back on and use duct tape to hold it up for a day or so to let the glue dry. Then re-attach the mirror and you're all set.

 

ya i tried that already

 

oh, i thought you talkin about the sire veiw mirrors... make sure you scrape ALL of the old glue off with a razor blade before trying to restick it

 

i took one of those two part epoxy things in the two tubes stuck together...you know the one i am talking about? anyway, then i took a little bit of 200grit sandpaper and kinda scratched up the glass where i put the mirror, then i let it set up for a few minutes (about 10) and then stuck the metal piece on. it was cold so, unfortunatly, i had to hold it there till it wasn't drooping down the windshield. once it was staying by itself, i left it alone for a day, then put the mirror on. worked great. first time in a few years this car has had a rear view mirror on it (g/f talked me into putting it back in)

 

make sure that you use locktite's version. its the only one that i have used that works the best.
