There are seven steps to the Permatex kit and they are easy to follow. You want to remove the old adhesive layer off of the stainless steel button. You need to clean the button and the windshield off with a grease and wax remover. Before you clean the windshield you want to mark where the old adhesive spot was before removing the old adhesive so you know where to place the new adhesive. After you clean the button and windshield, inside the Permatex kit there is an adhesion promoter pad that you need to open. Open the adhesive promoter pack and wipe on a centered location (where the old adhesive was that you clean off). Let the adhesive promoter dry for about 60 seconds. Put one drop of the adhesive supplied in the Permatex kit onto the center of the stainless steel button. Quickly apply the button on the windshield making sure the button is oriented correctly and that it is straight up and down. Put firm pressure on the button for 60 seconds. Allow the adhesive to dry for at least 30 minutes. Then reattach your rear view mirror.

Major shout-out to Major diameter I thought I was going to have to live without a center mirror forever so you showed me how to remove the button off the back much appreciated dude

[@extrapolater]

The difference between watching this being done and trying to decipher the tiny print on the package is night and day. Thank you! Also, good kitty.

[@maemitchell1408]

Thanks, very good teaching.!!!

[@meakarma1973]

“The instructions say just to put a drop on” me who just tried to put it on with the whole entire packet of glue and wondered why it was sliding so much👁👄👁

[@samhill6454]

Why is no one talking about how hard it is to remove metal bittom

[@edubb2491]

No shit bro..iam still at it 3 days later

[@chloebuel6452]

Okay thank you cause I have been working on it for like 15 minutes

[@TheKaleidobros]

Make sure yours isn't the kind that uses a hex key to unscrew it from the bottom, mine was.

[@madelineminor6880]

Facts. I’m trying now

[@Koilosarx]

It's not hard when you use a soldering iron with a blade tip. Comes off like butter. A lil alcohol to take off the rest of the residue.

[@nialoupa1765]

Great video. Very helpful!

[@murrayhill9000]

Good video. It was 4 months since I removed the mirror to make way for a rear video camera. Then I forgot how to re-install it until I saw your video, THANKS.

[@STV-H4H]

Prying that isn’t the best way to get it off. Use the narrow screwdriver to press the tension spring clip, and the button will slide out. Prying will probably damage the mirror base and contribute to future failure.

[@frecou6275]

Thanks for this!!

[@anabarahona4505]

Thank you very much very helpful!!!!!!

[@rachelavery5492]

This was very helpful

[@dukea1]

Before you try to pry off your button, MAKE SURE to look and see if there's a torx screw (t20) holding the button.

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

If you have access to a blowtorch or some sort of fire that's high-strength then you can easily remove the adhesive from the back of the rearview mirror plate. It will take you less than 15 seconds to melt and burn off all of the residual adhesive.

[@user-lj2ci1lg4q]

Excellent video explanation

[@peggyparket922]

Thank you so very much for your video on redoing my rearview mirror thank you very much

[@JulieDanellePhotography]

Great video, that adorable feline made it even better!

[@clarencecasely3442]

Good teacher!

[@what5297]

Great fur Assistant!

[@MelisJoy]

Love this. Quick & simple. Also seeing your adorable audience checking out what's going on 💙

[@uptownphotography]

Nice video. I have done this before using Pro Seal 61067 Mirror Adhesive and now I need to do it on another car. Basically, the same steps as your video except for the Pro Seal has a little glass vile you snap to allow the liquid adhesive to flow to an applicator to then apply to the windshield. Well done.

[@CrystalTurner-kt7dg]

Can you use review mirror glue when cold outside

[@franciscoguzman483]

Thanks, great instructions

[@natieyajones7361]

I will make this attempt later today and will be back if I need more assistance. Thank you..

[@mitchzee8603]

This is the 7th time I’m putting up my rear view mirror in 5 months.!!

[@nanpat6762]

Thanks for info. However, we used Good cleaning, good Glu from Auto Part store. Even had a guy from store walk us through steps. Tab stayed on all night, hung mirror next day and As Soon as we tried to adjust mirror it popped off again. I guess we'll use side mirrors.

[@racheledwards5230]

I’m here for the cat…seriously thanks for the help

[@ericw3964]

The Cat was totally helpful!

[@richard1666]

And how do you get the other type of mirror button to work?

[@jesselyncastro5744]

My rear view just fell off right now I need to fix it I am trying to bring to the car shop but I guess I just had to buy what you show.

[@stevengault2674]

Can a non power mirror be installed on the same button?

[@Chalavange]

Once you put the adhesion promoter on, you HAVE to wait at least a minute for it to cure before you put the glue on. I didn't count and just put the glue on. The button did stay on for the allotted 30 minutes, but once I tried to put the mirror back on it slipped and left a hole on the inside of my windshield. Also I noticed that the glue unused in the packet dries out very fast, so I was unable to do it right the second time.

[@Thatsactuallyaddison]

Can I run a blow dryer across my windshield ?? To make the temperature for it ??

[@alicefischer4285]

What if the stainless steel button is still attached to window and the mirror has just detached itself?

[@ellwoodsmom]

Would E6000 glue work?

[@bicdut]

I've done this twice one my 78 f150 and gave up. Looks like the previous owner tried scoring the windshield to help it stick but I don't think that's how it works

[@SenorTortas]

dat cat tho

[@by_dark_mm9138]

Can you use alcohol to clean the button?

[@krisdaan1406]

I have used this Kit twice in three months, both times it fails my windshield gets to be 140°, somebody said alcohol was not the best use they said you something else I can't remember what they said it might have been acetone. I have never had them come off after that. They usually would last three or four years. Wish I could get some of the manufacturer glue they use on new cars

[@francispotter5300]

I have bought an installed 4 kits on my 94 Chevy S10 and after about 4 day's they fall off very aggrevatiin got any ideas Doug in Ga

[@AutOdometer]

I’m sorry bro unfortunately it did the same to me after I made this video. I no longer have this car. Maybe heat the adhesive pad up and use a supporting mechanism (like tape or string or even a long 2 by 4 to wedge between the mirror extending down to your seat) to keep it in place until it fully cures??? Maybe a week or two. Just a suggestion

[@jamesstringer8640]

Jb weld

[@bluexhxr6926]

What should i do if I accidentally put the button to far to the right

[@murrayhill9000]

It ain't coming off so you will have to install another button. When they said "permanent" they meant it.

[@himathyjenkins]

Heat it up with a lighter and it's coming off

[@taniarodriguez948]

What if the patch of glue is stuck to the windshield? How do I get it off?

[@INDIGO.GODDESS_573]

Use RUBBING ALCOHOL ,, ADHESIVE REMOVER, TRY GOO GONE..

[@STV-H4H]

If you really have to ask such a question the answer should be that you should hire someone to do it for you. But the answer: razor blade. 😮

[@jinabejarano]

Help I mixed up I put it upside down how to remove it. It’s very hard.😢😢😢

[@ulyssessmith7859]

Try heating the metal bracket for a few mins then it should slide off

[@SteveChavis]

Permatex doesn't work

[@daggg8044]

How do I get it off ?

[@daggg8044]

The sliver piece from the glass if set up wrong

[@himathyjenkins]

Heat it up with a lighter

[@ChrisJackson-ow3fw]

Easy, just wait a few days or up to 2 weeks. Ive tried twice with Permatex and my rear vision mirror /camera has fallen off both times. Moving on to something that will work...

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

Most European cars mount the rearview to the headliner/roof, in order to eliminate this problem.

[@-salena-7284]

I'd so rather deal with this than when I've had vehicles where the headliner comes undone. Personally I never got the liners to ever be the same. I got extraordinarily creative time after time. Sorry, lol, reading your comment brought back the horror from those days!

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

@@-salena-7284 I can imagine. In my volvo, it bolted to part of the roof structure, under the plastic panel where the sunroof and front interior lighting switches are. This was a P80 volvo, which includes the volvo 850, volvo s70, v70, c70, v70xc, and the ECC comcept car.

[@ericw3964]

Really? That's great, but not at all helpful if your mirror is attached to the glass.
