Tubbo Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 So any car with the terrible design of having your mirror stuck on the windscreen which my wife managed to knock off yesterday 🙄 I know from previous experience that they are a pain in the arse to stick back on. So I am wondering what others have used and had success with in the way of glues?? Or something else? Cheers in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 There’s the specific pads to fit them, make sure the glass is degreased first. Don’t use glue. Tubbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back_For_More Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 My old 325 estate - same thing. No glue will work long term...... I went to a windscreen place and begged to buy what they use - the guy was cool and gave me 3 small tabs/pads as freebies. Cleaning the screen and making sure it was going to work was the main hassle. 2nd time was the charm for me. I then managed to crack the screen right up the centre about 2months later of course! Go ask Autoglass or similar for a favour if possible Tubbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LessThanEqual Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 3M do sticky pads (not the foam ones)Â which once stuck on are very difficult to remove. They're the only thing which survived holding my dash cam in the middle of summer. Tubbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Fish tank glass sealant.  I tried everything to stick a rear view on something. Until my neighbour asked what I was doing one day. ”here, try this….I stick fish tanks together with it”  it worked.  I can’t remember what it is….but it’s good bloody stuff.

You either need arms of steel and apply pressure for at least two minutes, or do what I did and wedge a bar into place once it's stuck on to apply some force overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
