Rearview Mirror Problems

criticalmass048
18 years ago

A year ago, the rearview mirror fell off my wife's '88 Bronco II. To date, I have attempted to put it back on 10 different times, using 4 or 5 different types of glue. I've tried the stuff designed for rearview mirrors, epoxy, crazy glue, and two other glues whose names I forget. They stay on for anywhere from a week to two months. The ones that stay on the longest tend to fall off during a drastic temperature change (I live in Philly, so it's nothing new to be 78 degrees today and 40 degress tomorrow night).

I'm about ready to give it one or two more tries before I finally go and screw it into the roof, which I don't want to do, because it's not going to be sturdy enough to move around, but at least it won't fall.

Yes, I clean both parts with alcohol, and yes, I've sanded down each part, and yes, I tape the little nubbie into place for anywhere between 24-48 hours before I actually screw the mirror to it. HELP!
