Loctite 37438 Rearview Mirror Adhesive Kit - 0.3 cc

I followed the written instructions carefully, with one exception - rather than one drop of adhesive in the center of the metal mirror button that glues to the windshield, I applied and then with a clean toothpick quickly distributed a thin even layer of adhesive to the entire surface of the thoroughly cleaned and ''activated'' metal button; & then quickly positioned the tab on the windshield. (Have materials positioned for easy access as there is very little "open time" for postioning the tab to the windshield before the glue sets.) Note: Applying the activator as instructed is critical for good adhesion to the glass. Based on previous experience distributing the adhesive across the surface of the "mirror button" provides the strongest durable bond.So far very pleased with results; whereas previous attempts to use other excellent adhesives alone failed - the mirror button would detach from the glass after a short time, leaving the adhesive bonded to the metal button only.Product Delivery was very prompt from R/A Hoerr Co.

The rearview mirror on my 2001 Jeep fell off sever years ago. I don't drive often anymore. I bought a light plastic mirror from Amazon and installed in my Jeep... not the best option. I did eventually get it to adhere to the window, but eventually my Aussie knocked the mirror off... so for the past year, I've tried to reapply the plastic mirror, which would remain attached for a few days and fall off, basically I've had no mirror for the past year, but since I don't drive much, wasn't an issue... but because I don't drive, the battery went dead and I had to apply the trickle charger for a few days and now that I have the battery recharged, I will try to keep the battery charged by driving a few times a week, but to do so, I need a rear view mirror.So I decided not the purchase another mirror but to try to reattach a mirror. I still have the original mirror, but it is heavy. I also have a mirror similar to the original but lighter that attaches like the old mirror, so I decided to attach this mirror. I did some research and determined how to reattach a mirror and this adhesive Kit was one of my options. The kit was also less expensive than a new mirror.So, to make a long story short, I bought the kit and yesterday (10-16) I made my attempt to reattach the lighter replica of the original mirror.I read the instructions 4 or 5 times. I did several dry runs to make sure I was getting everything in it's proper place and that I was applying the glue to the appropriate side, etc., etc....One of the instructions was to squeeze the Part A activator ampule until the vial breaks. There is a small sponge on the top of the ampule and after observing the ample for a few minutes, it was apparent that the "vial" separates the liquid activator from the sponge and I should squeeze the ampule at the top near the sponge to break the vial, and after several minutes of squeezing the ampule, the vial didn't break. I squeezed some more with no success, so I found small pliers and used the pliers to gently squeeze the ample near the top and after a few attempts, the "vial" broke. I could see the broken vial in the ampule.I had cleaned the window as instructed and also the holder that I glued to the window. I applied the activator as instructed to the window and the mirror holder. I waited 5 minutes as instructed. I then applied the glue to the holder, making sure the holder was in the proper position and held against the window for 1 minute. I could actually see the glue harden around the edges of the holder. After 1 minute the holder appeared to be firmly affixed to the window. I slide the mirror in place and made several adjustments on the mirror with absolutely no movement from the holder now firmly affixed to the window.This was yesterday. All appears to be a go with the mirror now firmly attached to the window.

The instructions were not clear so I went to the product website and found a video that showed me how to properly administer the glue so I could glue the metal puck to the windshield. I followed the instructions closely, used a razor to clean the glass. After 24 hours I attempted to mount the mirror to the glass. and the mirror fell off. This product was a failure.

Fooling around in the car, bounced her head off the mirror and it hit the floor. Usually don't care where I've been only care where I'm going, but I guess it's a "legality" in some states to have a rearview mirror. I decided to reattach it. I believe this might be better than factory, have bounced her head off of it several times and it's still hanging in there.

Good deal

Great kit! I tried 3 other adhesive kits for my rear view mirror and none of them worked. This one held fast and is very durable. I live in Colorado where temps get into the hundreds during summer months & it's still holding strong!

Follow the instructions and there should be no issues. I took the extra time to ensure the glueing surface of my mounting button was perfectly smooth to have 100% contact. The glue dries quickly and appears to be quite solid.

put this on a 1998 chevy lumina windshield it melted the glass almost all the way through with a little crack and rear view mirror fell back off
