My stock rear view mirror came off yesterday. It had previously been glued to the mounting base. There is a small silver plate which the mirror has a mounting screw to attach the mirror to the base. The small silver base came out of the mount. Is epoxy glue, which is what I believe was used, the only method of attachement?
What has been found to be a reliable attachement method? Thanks, Larry |

I recommend a search using the words "mirror" on this site. There is a thread strongly against using epoxy due to different expansion rates between the glue and glass. Net result is usually a round-ish crack in the windshield. I successfully attached by masking then sanding the glass surface using 600 grit, thoroughly cleaning the mating surfaces, and using the mirror attachment glue kit from FLAPS. Helps to allow a few days to dry before attaching the mirror to the base. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
