Hello, my daughter's car has a rear view mirror that does not stay put. Does anyone have the answer as it is driving her nuts. She has tried sticky pads and glue but it does not stay put. I think the road surface plays a large part in th mirror coming adrift but that said any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Talk to Autoglass or one of the other glass replacement companies. They fixed my mirror after I accidentally hit it with something I was carrying in the car and made it come off the sticky pad. I tried everything such as super glue etc but nothing worked. Autoglass fixed it in a matter of minutes and it was perfect from that day.

Ford's solution costs under £1 and should be available at most dealers off the shelf. Again get it clean and free of old gunk. I usually do white spirit for the gooey parts followed by meths/isopropanol to remove the residue.

Superglue dries too hard and brittle. Plus you are probably adding it to an already dirty and tacky surface. That will not work.
