How To Mirror Reddit?

How to remount rear-view mirror?

  • My rear-view mirror fell off. The mount on the mirror is metal, and it was stuck on the windshield with some substance. What should I use to remount it? (metal on glass) It would have to be strong for me to be able to adjust the mirror without pulling it off again. I want something that doesn't require clamping the mirror on while it dries/hardens. If it does require clamping, do you have any suggestions on how to clamp a mirror on the windshield? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    They sell the glue at most stores you will remove the mirror from the base and glue that to the window once its is dry then you mount the mirror. Make sure you buy a kit for mounting the mirror its only a couple of bucks.

Most glass shops will do it for "next to nothing" and do it right. Takes 10 minutes.

67Bronco is right. Buy the kit from the parts store. Use a razor blade to clean both surfaces REALLY good. Place glue on the metal piece that sticks to window. Place piece onto window, let it dry for however long it says on the package and in 10-15 minutes you done.

I'd do what Dennis has suggested - pay the small fee and get the professionals to do it for you, and do it right first time!

Quick set 2 part epoxy means you only have to hold it up there on the windshield for about 3 minutes. Or you can probably get the appropriate adhesive at your auto dealer's parts dept.

Dennis is exactly right. Auto parts stores sell mirror cement for this purpose but fastening it down where you don't want it is no fun.

Try spaying hot water on it and use fish line to pry it loose.
