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? |

Agree on the OEM adhesive pad. Clean surfaces well with alcohol. The mirror mounts lower than you'd think it does. To line it up, flip the sun visors down and center the mirror in the cutotus. That should get you close. Then use a wax pencil on the outside to mark the horiz and vertical centers.
If you need to remove an existing adhesive pad, try acetone in a syringe and a hair dryer. Don't use a heat gun, as you could crack the glass. Good luck! |
