Fix a rear view mirror that keeps falling off

[@erynthackray373]

Thanks for this Video! This is exactly what I was thinking of doing. Even the same Epoxy. I'm Especially appreciative of your update comment. Cheer! ☺

@WJHandyDad Was the gorilla glue better than the other adhesives? Had the same problem in my Grand Marquis. Has the mirror fallen since?

[@WJHandyDad]

so far it is still attached! And we've had lots of triple digit days with it in the direct sun

[@jackc1010]

@@WJHandyDad Thank you for the reply. I'm rewatching the video and noticed that you also made scuff/scratches on the metal piece did you try this method before with the other glues?

[@WJHandyDad]

unfortunately I do not remember if I did before

[@jackc1010]

@@WJHandyDad Ah ok. You had some really good tips for me to try next time my mirror falls.

[@WJHandyDad]

so far this has worked, keeping fingers crossed

[@kylemlm]

My biggest pet peave. It always happen during a road trip ect.

[@WJHandyDad]

yeah, never a good time for it to happen!

[@TheBoredDude1000]

Hilariously this also happens on my 2010 P7B

[@WJHandyDad]

knock on wood - the mirror has stayed up since this video, including surviving many triple digit days where it sat in direct sunlight all day

[@TheBoredDude1000]

@@WJHandyDad Sweet! Glad to hear that! Next time it happens to me, I'll try this method

[@awilson8385]

Any updates?

[@WJHandyDad]

so far... knock on wood... it's still up!

[@antoniomarc7174]

Hopefully it had worked this time around thanks for sharing…👍👍

[@WJHandyDad]

so far so good, and it's withstood some of the hottest days we've ever had

I have an '02 F150 I have had for about 10 years and have had my mirror fall off at least once a year, if not more often. Have used several rear view adhesives and some last longer than others, but have all failed. Redid it about a month ago, and will see how it holds, but if it fails, may give this a try.

[@WJHandyDad]

knock on wood... so far it's holding up and we had a couple triple digit temps this year. I'm not sure if changing to the epoxy or moving it on the windshield was the "secret" since I did both, but I'm happy thus far!

[@blupupher]

I am in the Houston area, so understand the heat and sun issues. I have even gone a far as taking my dremel and cutting some little groves in the button hoping it would adhere better, since like you, it seems to stick to the glass but not the button.

[@WJHandyDad]

hope you're OK and safe from the flooding. We've had terrible rain and flooding, but nothing like what Houston has had. Lake Waco rose more than 10' in one day this month!

[@batsell582]

I have a F150. Doesn’t matter how well I clean the glass or how good an adhesive I use. Last about a year then falls off.

[@blupupher]

Well, mirror fell off about a month after I posted this. 😖 Just got around to ordering this epoxy, but nor sure when I will do it since I have no "cool" place to install this, and still above 90°F during the day.
