How To Guide Rear View Mirror fastening (Loctite 319)

[Richardrix]

My rear view mirror dropped off during the winter. I have tried various products to fix it back but none worked that well. Eventually I tried the Loctite 319. This stuff is awesome.

• Remove the button from the mirror so that you are only glueing the small part and not the weight of the whole mirror.
• Take the mesh that comes with the Loctite and cut it to the required size of the button.
• Clean the window with some cleaning alcohol to remove any grease, etc
• Clean the button with some cleaning alcohol to remove any grease, etc
• Put the glue on the button
• Place the cut down piece of mesh on to the glue and use the glue stick to make sure the mesh is covered
• Place the button on to the window (making sure you have it properly oriented with a notch to the top) and hold the button in place and count slowly to 30.

The button should at this point be fairly secure. I then left it to set for about an hour. I then reattached the mirror to the button. Feels really firm and secure.

I should also note that I waited until it was a warm sunny day so that there was no condensation or moisture on the windscreen and the windscreen was warm. This helps the glue work to its full effect.

I fixed mine with the same stuff in the same way after it fell off August last year. Seems to be holding up well so far

Thanks for the responses. My mirror is firmly fixed to the windscreen. But it vibrates so much it is almost unusable.

Must be an internal problem with the mirror as you said Paul. I'm not sure what can be done though.
