Last year I bought a couple of used cars, and when it got hot the rear view mirrors fell off both of 'em. So I glued them back on with the glue kits they sell for that purpose. I followed the directions, cleaned carefully and let the glue harden over night.
It got pretty hot this week, and they both fell off again a few days apart.
So I'm wondering if the windshield shades I use in both cars are the problem. I use the kind with fabric and wire frames that twist and fold up into a very small space. They push a little against the mirror, and while they keep the interior of the car cool, I think the windshield gets pretty hot, maybe hotter than without them.
Any suggestions on this? I'm particularly interested if you live somewhere hot like Arizona. What's your experience?
