Re view mirror glue ??

[Gazzer01278]

I’ve Tried several glues now and any heat the darn things on the deck again 😡 has anyone used one that works ?

If you mean the rear view mirror falling off the windscreen, I have used Loctite Glass Bond with success in the past. It needs to be held firmly in place for a few minutes while it sets, though.

I’m sure there are specific double sided sticky pads for that

[Glassman]

What car is it?

If there's a mounting bracket (or boss) it will need to be separated from the assembly first. Some bosses will reattach (after a proper cleanup) with a specific 2k adhesive. Others will need a PUR-based fix.

Araldite should work. Sticky pads generally work loose after a while.

Gorilla tape - blooming amazing stuff!

As you have found out several glue is cr@p.

The designed for the purpose double sided pads have worked for me before.

Take it to a windscreen place.wasted an evening trying to stick one on an e34 many years ago

You risk cracking your windscreen by using the wrong type of adhesive.

This stuff works where others fail.............. Loctite 319

I got some normal double sided tape coated the thing in it and it won’t budge. Surprising as i thought the stuff would be crap with how thin it is.

As above, if installed properly (i.e. follow the instructions!) I had great success - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0001P0DLU/ref=pe_3857...

Years later was still fine when I sold the car.

This has been something that has been bothering us since nippers. Why does Loctite 319 have a warning on the back that it isn’t suitable for use on a Mazda 121 ( as opposed to a Fiesta Mk4 which is the same car...)

Bought some SUMMIT specific mirror sticky pads from Halfoods
They're a bit of foam rubber with sticky goo on either side
The pad worked for all of a day
The failure wasn't the glue to the windscreen or the glue to the mirror mount.

It was the glue to the foam pad that failed
Result: Glue left on windscreen, pad stuck to mirror with no glue left on the windscreen side of the pad.
Can I get my money back
