Hey Guys! This is how I fixed my car mirror for around 5 dollars! The mirror broke off completely in one piece, and in the video I show you the easy diy way to fix a car mirror that has broken off. It is very simple, all you need is some construction adhesive and some tape to act as a clamp to hold the broken mirror back on.

Its been a month and a half of cold weather. I took the tape off after 2 days. It has been holding fine!

@dyzatheox804 4 года назад

Dylan's DIY Workshop how much would it cost to repair only one side mirror ? Specifically for a g35.

@____Paradox____ 4 года назад

JB Weld is cheaper and easier to apply. Just grab a tube at your hardware store. No need for a caulking gun. Since it's a two part epoxy, it will set up faster and cure harder. Mine lasted for 7 years in cold/wet Seattle weather.

@DylansDIYWorkshop 4 года назад

cheaper probably. easier. not sure, with trying to mix up enough and not too little or too much. and then spreading it on. Id argue thats around the same difficulty level

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT 😄 am going to try it

@ashleyrosemarchaud1963 Год назад

Can I apply it in cold weather?? Or should I pull it into the garage with a space heater 🤔? Serious question

This happened to my daughter's car mirror, it got knocked off in a parking lot. So would I follow the same steps when I use the JB Weld on her mirror?

@usnva5638 6 лет назад

You don't have to plastic wrap the end of the caulking tube. Just squeeze until a little bit comes out the end of the tube and let it dry. It will act as a plug. When you're ready to reuse the caulk for something else, just pull out the plug - good to go.

@judysoto8553 6 лет назад

Also, what kind of tape are you using and can I drive my car with the tape on, without it falling off? Thank you so much!

@DylansDIYWorkshop 6 лет назад

+Judy Soto the tape that I used is tuck tape. It's the tape that you use for vapor barrier, it's as strong as duct tape without the webbing in it. I chose it because it is weatherproof once applied. You have to make sure that the surface is dry before you do this for both the adhesive to work and the tape to adhere. As long as the edges of the tape are held down and flipped up a bit. You should definitely be able to drive with it on there I drove with the tape on there for 3 days before I peel the tape off which gave the construction adhesive time to dry. I would leave the tape on for at least that long if I were you to make sure that it's it's dry. The mirror isn't quite as strong as it used to be but it's still much better than having to get it fully replaced.

@najee151 6 лет назад

Dylan's DIY Workshop hey Dylan I have a quick question 😊 how long do you let the adhesive dry? Are you able to use the car without the tape?

@DylansDIYWorkshop 6 лет назад

@judysoto8553 6 лет назад

What if the black part is cracked? Will this work?

@DylansDIYWorkshop 6 лет назад

+Judy Soto it depends on how cracked it is. What I would do is do my best to get that adhesive in between the two parts of the crack and if necessary I would break the where the crack is. I would try to part until it snapped. That way you could put the proper amount of adhesive between the two pieces they should go back together

a few days for the tape. it lasted for normal use for another year or 2 until I put the car in storage
