I've got a '75 914 with an inside mirror that has detached from the windshield I've looked at the two part adhesives but they don't work for an entire mirror assembly.
What have you used to reattach the whole mirror assembly? |

Marc,
Porsche etc still sells the adhesive pad for the interior mirrors, since it's the same for the 60's-70's 911/912/912E/930 mirrors. IIRC the other Porsche parts houses also sell the same one made by OEM 3M too. IMHO that's the best option, & always good to buy a couple of extra for the glovebox & home shop at the same time. The trick to good adhesion is to get both the windshield & mirror base absolutely clean & smooth from all old debris/adhesive before attaching to the base, then to the windshield, mark the sot on the glass with wax pencil/crayon, & do the install exactly per the instructions - especially including temperatures. Today in SoCal at 100-118 would NOT be a good day to do the install due to high temps! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Most failed adhesive pad installs are due to improper/inadequate prep &/or not following the other temp etc. install instructions. A good install will break the glass if you just tried to pull it off, without using their undercutting reccos to remove. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom //////// |
