Pwyll Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I know this is a basic thing, but I want it to stay fixed to the windscreen for more than a few days. I awoke a few days ago to find my rearview mirror had taken up residence in the passenger footwell. (Now been moved to a temporary house in the glovebox) My question is, what should I use to fix it back to the windscreen? I have tried the sticky pad things on cars in the past and not had a lot of success. They don't seem to like the sun or the cold. Also, there is some of the old glue still stuck to the windscreen. What is the best way of cleaning this off without damaging the windscreen? Is there any other prep I can do to help prevent the situation from recurring?

J@mes Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 find a local windscreen fitter and ask them for one of the pads they use. I used pads from halfords and they worked fine for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have used the Halfords pads without problems. Clean the glue off with an alcohol cleaner or brake cleaner (Naphtha). Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
