Major shout-out to Major diameter I thought I was going to have to live without a center mirror forever so you showed me how to remove the button off the back much appreciated dude
Good video. It was 4 months since I removed the mirror to make way for a rear video camera. Then I forgot how to re-install it until I saw your video, THANKS.
“The instructions say just to put a drop on” me who just tried to put it on with the whole entire packet of glue and wondered why it was sliding so much👁👄👁
Prying that isn’t the best way to get it off. Use the narrow screwdriver to press the tension spring clip, and the button will slide out. Prying will probably damage the mirror base and contribute to future failure.
If you have access to a blowtorch or some sort of fire that's high-strength then you can easily remove the adhesive from the back of the rearview mirror plate. It will take you less than 15 seconds to melt and burn off all of the residual adhesive.
Nice video. I have done this before using Pro Seal 61067 Mirror Adhesive and now I need to do it on another car. Basically, the same steps as your video except for the Pro Seal has a little glass vile you snap to allow the liquid adhesive to flow to an applicator to then apply to the windshield. Well done.
Thanks for info. However, we used Good cleaning, good Glu from Auto Part store. Even had a guy from store walk us through steps. Tab stayed on all night, hung mirror next day and As Soon as we tried to adjust mirror it popped off again. I guess we'll use side mirrors.
Once you put the adhesion promoter on, you HAVE to wait at least a minute for it to cure before you put the glue on. I didn't count and just put the glue on. The button did stay on for the allotted 30 minutes, but once I tried to put the mirror back on it slipped and left a hole on the inside of my windshield. Also I noticed that the glue unused in the packet dries out very fast, so I was unable to do it right the second time.
I've done this twice one my 78 f150 and gave up. Looks like the previous owner tried scoring the windshield to help it stick but I don't think that's how it works
I have used this Kit twice in three months, both times it fails my windshield gets to be 140°, somebody said alcohol was not the best use they said you something else I can't remember what they said it might have been acetone. I have never had them come off after that. They usually would last three or four years. Wish I could get some of the manufacturer glue they use on new cars
I’m sorry bro unfortunately it did the same to me after I made this video. I no longer have this car. Maybe heat the adhesive pad up and use a supporting mechanism (like tape or string or even a long 2 by 4 to wedge between the mirror extending down to your seat) to keep it in place until it fully cures??? Maybe a week or two. Just a suggestion
I'd so rather deal with this than when I've had vehicles where the headliner comes undone. Personally I never got the liners to ever be the same. I got extraordinarily creative time after time. Sorry, lol, reading your comment brought back the horror from those days!
@@-salena-7284 I can imagine. In my volvo, it bolted to part of the roof structure, under the plastic panel where the sunroof and front interior lighting switches are. This was a P80 volvo, which includes the volvo 850, volvo s70, v70, c70, v70xc, and the ECC comcept car.
Easy, just wait a few days or up to 2 weeks. Ive tried twice with Permatex and my rear vision mirror /camera has fallen off both times. Moving on to something that will work...
