The Windshield & Rearview Mirror Saga

Sep 14, 2006 2 Replies

My son through a baseball in the car knocking the rearview mirror off the windshield.



Now get this... The adhesive between the baseplate and the windshield did not fail; the glass did.



To be accurate, 2/3 of the adhesive between the baseplate and the windshield did fail, but 1/3 did not resulting in a dime-size piece of windshield still attached to the baseplate.



I assume the best adhesive to re-attach the baseplate-to- windshield surface is still rearview mirror adhesive, but what is the best adhesive to re-attach the glass-to-glass surface?



Thanks!

They sell special mirror glue @ auto parts stores

Don't use anything else, it wont hold

Remove base plate from mirror, glue back on, put ducttape on it to hold in place , remove tape after at least 24 hours and re-install mirror
