Can anyone recommend a good glue
« on: April 02, 2020, 06:53:24 pm »
My passenger mirror has decided to part with the backing, can anyone recommend a good glue to stick it on back with?

Use epoxy 2 part. Although, I would just get a replacement because you'll probably find that the heating doesn't work as effectively.

Yes I'll probably do this eventually, just want to stick for now until everything's back to normal.  :happy2:

I have my original mirrors because I swapped them out for the curved blind-spot mirrors. Probably would be more to ship them to you than it would be for new ones. Here, a set/pair of heated blind-spot mirrors are $70usd.
