so as title says the bloody rear view mirror feel off last night on the way home..

it is the type that goes on the windscreen

just wondering in the TF whats the best thing to do when this happens just epoxy the hell out of it and hope it holds or do the TF have the 3 screw holes under the hood lining that i can just buy a replacement mirror to screw up into?


brain is tired from working a double so hopefully my question makes sence


thanks in advance all

You can buy a small tube of glue from auto stores made specifically for this purpose, you then re glue it to the windscreen following the instructions.

went into autobarn today and he asked " is that like superglue"

arrh i hate autobarn, whats the name of the stuff you mean evil ill try to find it online

Its made by permatex, try Bursons, Repco or super cheap auto

thanks mate, and would this stuff hold pretty well..


I regulary go up some nasty pothole riden dirt roads and when i get the rare times that the kids arn't in the car i like to give the subs a fair workout .... which im guessing is why the mirror come off lol

The permatex stuff works. Mirror won't come off the glass once it is on without breaking the glass, so be careful to line it up correctly, ok?

The metal mounting plate needs to come off the mirror, glue that and use masking tape to keep it in place. Later, add the mirror. Instructions should be on the packet, anyway.

Mounting plate goes on the centre of the spot on the glass (D'OH) and make sure you don't stick it on upside down! (Double D'OH) lol

hmm... so if the metal part was stuck to my windscreen still,.. would i still be able to glue it?

cause its not looking at coming lose anytime soon

ok so because the metal part is still bonded ( very damn well) to the windscreen, and epoxy isnt holding after my attempt to glue the mirror back onto the metal part while still attached to the windscrren i decided to pull the roof lining back and noticed my car does have the screw hole for the mirrors that screwed into the roof instead of the one that sat on the glass...


can anyone tell me what models the ones that screw into the roof with the 3 screws come out on ....


thanks and sorry be being a pain in the ass

Mirror just slips over the metal plate glued to the glass. It's held on by a metal spring clip, which in turn is joined to the mirror by 2 rivets. Have the rivets come undone?

mirror might be missing a few things then, i cant see any springs or rivets

might have to pop out to the wreckers when kids are all at school next and have a look


thanks for those extra details max

Yeah the glue kit I mentioned is for when the metal bit comes off as well.


Maybe put up a pic of the mirror arm where it attaches, cause seems like something here has broken maybe?

Also, I think the roof mounted screws may be to suit second gen magna mirrors, however I am not 100% positive.
