ok, now my rear vision mirror has been snapped off from the windshield. it wasnt a clean break, a tiny bit of glass came off, is there anyway i can reattach it? if not, how much will a new one cost to attach, and will i need a new windscreen....

thanks. moz.

Super Glue?? errmmm sorry mate perhaps wait till someone who has also broken theirs to come online

hah i was sorta thinking the same, but i dont think superglue is strong enough to hold ip...i was even thinking silicone?

if im thinking correctly the hole mirror sliders down off the windscreen the windscreen has a clip attached to it and you should be able to pick a second hand one up from a wrecker and replace the hole mirror

Edit : TE,TF slide down and TH,TJ slide up from memory hope this helps

Most windscreen places (windscreen obrian etc) have a glue thats pretty good.

They dont usually charge toooo much to stick her back on wile you wait. ($10 or so i think)

The little piece of missin glass shouldnt be too much of a problem.

good man, exactly what i was looking for.

thanks bejois too!

yea a mate had this happen to him as well there shoudl be a metal part that attaches to the mirror just clean the glass off slide the metal bit out go to a windscreen shop and ask them to glue it back on

lol funny thing about his is that this was in charters towners and it was hot as hell and the glue meltel and it slid down the windscreen lol so he got the next time free and they used more tape

Loctite actually make a repair glue just for factory glued mirrors. Dead cheap and sets in seconds, so you can do it yourself

Yeah any supercheep or car place sells special glue for rear view mirrors.

Also i usually leave the bit of glass on the metal, helps line up exactley where it was before and prevents it from slipping down the window.

guys thank you very much for ya help, i woulda been stumped.

can close thread if you please.

pretty much every good service station sells it!!

takes a few min and your off again, i didnt bother to prep mine properly just applied the glue and stuck it back on and its all good (my rear view mirror copped a pounding from the 4 12" subs to the piont that it was not woth looking at at all) so i'd say just do that, you can even do it now servo's are open all night lol

cbf factor is high, and bank account is low, tomro!

the stuff costs like... 5bucks i think - for a tube that looks tiny, but is waaaaaaaaaay too much for the one mirror you can use it for
(you cant save it and use it later unfortunatly :()

its dead simple to use, just take the mirror off the bit that attaches to the windscreen (as previously said, they come apart) until the glue has had a chance to set - maybe 10mins max.

ahhh stuck, cant get the lil metal thing out??

sorry, but i need to get this thing back on.

i cant slide the metal bit out...its not easy to anchor on anything, as i no longer have my mirror on the windscreen, dont really have time to go to wreckers, and dont really wanna pay money for it unless i have to.

any ideas?

Had this problem when I pried a photochromatic mirror off a TJ.

Wish I could remember exactly how I did it. Needle nose pliers and the top edge of the folded over V part, one plier tip on the bottom of the mirror support and the other on the folded bit, squeeze pliers together, support should start sliding out, then you should be able to go from there...

i had this problem today, the heat made the mirror fall off

i went and bought some 'rear vision mirror glue' from autobarn ($9.99)

to get the metal piece out of the clip i just got a flat head screwdriver and plied it out

now im waiting for the glue to dry
