Rearview mirror fell off in my hand today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I just ordered the rearview mirror pad from Sierra Madre.

Question - is this pad alone enough to keep the mirror attached or do I need to pick up some rearview mirror adhesive as well?

Thanks.

If you read George’s book he points out that a bit of silicone sealant around the edges keeps air from coming betwixt pad and windshield.

My problem is the mirror base does not stick to the sticky pads. Anybody else have this issue?

yes have seen it all of the time, especially if one at one time glued the mirror directly to the windshield. The pad also helps dampen vibration so certainly use it. You may have to scrape the base clean of the shiny glue. The base is not shiny what so ever so if yours is, it has mirror glue on it. Also lacquer thinner will help clean the base followed by soap and water to get the residue off. THEN the patch will stick well and you will be on your way
