How to Re- Attach your Rear View Mirror

[@crystalconner3494]

I paid 9.99. The instructions were daunting when reading. Thank you for making me feel like I can do this.

[@a3s1r1986]

"I'm not into looking back, but now I can, if I have to." There's Dave, always finding time to share a life lesson within another lesson.

[@cheapwheels9828]

LOL, Thanks

[@dominicfong6341]

This is probably the third or fourth video I have come across on such repair in which they are all good but yours is the best because you actually perform a stress test on the glued piece. Thank you dear Cheap Wheels.

[@cheapwheels9828]

Thanks 👍

[@blazekai23]

“I’m not into looking back, but now I can if I have to” 😂 Thanks Dave for the guide.

[@slothy_the_turtle3874]

I love how Dave is straight to the point and makes everything look easy

[@cheapwheels9828]

Thanks

[@EkMusafir41]

Lovely, to the point, gives it to ya straight, no shop talk, and doesn't miss a point. Haven't seen anything better on the subject. Subscribed!!

[@jakebloss3621]

Thanks man, always makes a lot more sense when I can see it done

[@ohiowatha]

Perfect demonstration. You’ve got talent, sir! Thank you

[@Falconeyeone]

Good Job Dave. you are no nonsense direct and entertaining. Thank you.

[@kevintulak9987]

I think I see some deep thinking in starting this channel, you now have a reason to pick up all sorts of old vehicles so you can keep fixing stuff. Smart guy, it will be interesting to see how many Ford trucks you can end up with before Brooke says anything. Thanks for sharing.

[@cheapwheels9828]

Oh, there on to me.....Brooke has already said a few things...LOL. Between Michigan and Alaska I have 4 ford trucks, a jeep, and an escort

[@kevintulak9987]

Ok, you've shamed me into fixing my mirror on my 91' S10. Great video. I probably wouldn't have read the directions and screwed it all up.🤣

[@cheapwheels9828]

Good luck with it

[@shawnr771]

Excellent straightforward instruction. Thanks Dave. I have done this one several times. Probably wont be the last.

[@cheapwheels9828]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@madcowusa4277]

Mine fell off again after 2 years. The product has increased in price so much that a brand new upgraded mirror and mount from LMC Truck is only $3 more than the goo alone. Bought a new mirror instead.

[@robertavila3982]

5 bucks over here in California 🎯 and am now a follower so to the clear instructions and play by play 👌🏾

Its Dave - lets see more Dave on Alone! Maybe you are but only just finished season 5. I found it funny I just stumbled on your page while trying to fix my f150 mirror.

[@jimmulligan7494]

Very nicely done. Worked exactly as described.

[@MCRONE2]

nice work Dave, just what I needed for the old Bronco

[@charlesbentley2934]

My mirror in 95 Ranger fell off about 10 days after I first watched video. I did not hesitate to get it fixed. Normally I would have asked several friends what they recommended. Thanks for your helpful videos.

[@cheapwheels9828]

Glad it helped

[@jackirichard414]

Thanks for sharing the great tips with us.

[@cheapwheels9828]

My pleasure!

[@UndernetSystems]

Great video Dave

[@cheapwheels9828]

Thanks 👍

[@alanj7306]

Important to be aware if you have any tint or UV film on the windshield. I’d imagine that most older cars with that style rear view probably don’t, but just a thought. Great video and another cheap and easy fix. Thank you Dave and God bless!

[@cheapwheels9828]

Great point!

[@Manmadecontent]

The sun always makes mine come off every summer

[@ovp66223]

Mine just popped off last week in 90 degree heat. Had been on for appx 3 months. Sucks. Did you find any useful solution?

[@dannythomas7302]

All I wanted was an answer, the whole answer and nothing but the answer and that's exactly what you provided. Great job! Thanks!!

[@cheapwheels9828]

Glad it helped!

[@jeffersonspace]

Back around 82 or so I was cleaning out my 74 American Motors rebel station wagon, and I flipped - Frisbee style - an aluminum coke can into the front part of the car (from the rear), and gosh darn it I cracked the front window. Luck of the Irish! Dad bailed me out on that one. Thanks Dad. Bless

[@cheapwheels9828]

I bet you wish you had that car today. I grew up around AMCs and they actually get real money nowadays.

[@jeffersonspace]

@@cheapwheels9828 Around that time my friend Bob mentioned to me that Al Jarreau drove the same car as mine. (Hollywood studio connection). That engine just hummed along, but then the trans went on it.

Thanks Dave! Great instructions… by the way todays price for same product at Auto Zone was $8.95!! Can we say inflation!!

Times have changed since the days of rear view mirror brackets being held on by screws at the top of the windshield/headliner area.......good video on how to address gluing the newer style mirror mount back on! Thanks!

hey there Dave...you won't believe this but I just bought that same kit to put my rearview mirror back on lol now I don't have to read the instructions thanks for that ;) have a great week & take care

[@cheapwheels9828]

Thanks Trey

[@somebeech30]

I always put a piece of tape over the metal after you glue it too the window..it works for me. Great video

[@cheapwheels9828]

Great tip!

[@luisquintana2793]

at 1:03 that's what she said, I couldn't resist 😂😂😂 - no offense. Awesome Tutorial

[@rodneycaupp5962]

Now, I followed your instructions completely.... lets see how the repair works out long term. I got 5 or more years out of the last repair, but I didn't study before making that fist repair. I squeezed really hard and had way to little glue, left to hold on. One drop with firm pressure 30 seconds to a minute... give it an hour before installing the mirror. The price now in june 2023 is $7.85 for the .." ALL NEW- Permatix EXTREME STRENGTH glue ". A Bargain still, ...when you get your Rear View back.

[@MeliTX]

Thank you! I have to do this after work today!

[@elvisonstage]

Hey, Dave! Thanks so much for this video! I'm on the verge of cleaning the windshield with the razor blade. I really like the way you explained every step! By the way, is your button still hanging from this application? Thanks, Dave, so much!

[@gosmoothgolight7567]

It's a good thing my van has two rear view mirrors on the doors . . . my dog gets paranoid that I'm keeping an eye on what she's up to back there when we're headed down the road :) (She's probably the one that knocked my mirror off, in the first place!) Thanks for the tips, Dave! See you down the road . . . God Bless

[@behramcooper3691]

Almost all reviews for this product at least here in sunny Australia, are 1 star. Users claim that they followed the instructions properly, but the mirror fell off in a week's time anyway. So now I am in two minds. My rear view mirror fell off today and I am looking for a good adhesive.

[@luiszepeda475]

Excellent video man! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍

[@bluecollarhowto3489]

One litte tip when you use the razor blade to clean the glue off the button. Put it in the mirror. Will be easier to hold, as well as safer.

[@freemenclub]

Just what I needed!

[@bobashmore6442]

I'm predicting Cheap Wheels will have an upcoming episode titled; "How to replace the windshield on an old pickup truck". But maybe that's just me. Another good video Dave, no idea why it didn't pop up in my feed for an entire day though.

[@cheapwheels9828]

Not this truck. Its not bad enough yet

I'd love to see a diy windshield swap if that's possible. Plus I see you got a good crack already in yours. 👍

I have had luck with epoxy for an aftermarket mirror I had installed. Permatex failed twice, once while tightening screw and another in summer heat. Cleaned with windex, heard something about windex leaving a residue?? Last time with epoxy used a 70% IPA wipe, so idk what actually made this thing finally stick.

doesn't work. I tried 3 times with different versions of the permatex packaging (maybe indicating different generations) one version of directions said only 30 minutes cure time. tried multiple day cure times. still failed. I tried both on the black thermal coating and straight to glass. nothing held.
