I use the factory part. I've tried the glue from FLAPS and the factory sticky pad is the way to go for sure. Clean the glass and the mirror with alcohol first and let dry.

Over time in the sun the adhesive dries out. Porsche dealers & the rest of the usual suspects sell them cut to the specific outline of the 914/911/912 mirrors' base, or you can trim the FLAPS type to fit without overhang. Not a biggie & sticks instantly after you apply some pressure to seat it. Buy 2 for the next time. |

i used the little kit from FLAPS. it was some type of super glue like liquid adhesive and came with alcohol wipes for cleaning. fortunately, there was enough of an outline on the window to help me keep it in the correct spot. worked like a charm!

How about 2 stock adhesive ones stuck together, one on the mirror and the other on the glass, sounds wierd but my friend with his 356 tried this and it worked alright and its been about one year or so and the mirror is still on...he used 2 stock adhesive pads....
