Since having a new windscreen fitted in October I simply cannot get rear view mirror to stay on it has has fallen off six or seven times now...have tried superglue, the five quid glass/ mirror stuff from the local spares place & backed it it up with tape..it still falls off ! I follow the instructions and clean glass with alcohol/ white spirit and sand down the metal part of mirror each time .

Should i give up & buy a lightweight sucker style -no jokes please- & hope it stays on? Ironically on old windscreen it stayed on with a single shaped sticky pad costing a quid. Needless to say have tried that too on new screen it falls off before you have even locked the door....

Have now wedged & taped to screen on the dashboard not ideal but total exasperation/ mental illness is imminent I fear (I have been driving 40 yrs & never had this problem before honest, doctor.....)
