Reattach Your Rear View Mirror Button -5 minute FIX- 

Finally, the video I've been waiting for; by one of the most trusted people on RU-vid. My rear view mirror fell off so many times I just gave up and only glue it on before car inspections are due. Wish me luck!

Good to see you back man I hope everything's good with you

I have worked in a glass shop for 40 years. The Loctite 312 is all we ever used, works pretty good if you follow the instructions including holding pressure on the button for 1 minute while it sets. I'm sure the uv stuff is good too.

Only happened to me once about 15 years ago in my '87 Ford Ranger. Nice fix!

The black windshield glue sealer also does a damn good job, 1 drop and it will never move again.

Watching the video from Kenya, Africa. Thanks and happy new year!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. I ordered KlingOn because of your video. Now I just have to wait for shipping... 😥

Love all the oil change stickers. Glad to see a product that actually works

Both times this has happened to me, I glued it on about 2" higher. I'm 6'3" and I have a taller torso than normal, so I sit pretty high. I have to constantly duck under the rear view to see traffic lights, signs, etc.

I’ve had about a 50% success rate with the permetex I’ll definitely try this next time though.

Just knowing this stuff exists is half the battle! Thanks for sharing another super useful tip

Just happened on my 79 Ford ranger F-250. Thanks as usual for the great videos. Luke

Good to get back to watching your channel. My dog tries to bite water just like your pup, lol! Keep up the great tips!

Excellent vid! A simple way to get out of a sticky situation, wait no... into a sticky situation? Either way I was glued to the screen. I know I know, "enough adhesive puns It's starting to get tacky." ; )

I used regular clear silicone once on an AMC wagon. Lasted as long as I owned the car.

Whilr I've had mostly success with the parts store mirror adhesives so far I'm going to get some of this stuff and keep it handy.. Prolly work to attach things to shower tiles or to house windows or any super slick surface..

Thanks this vid was just what I needed. Got my Loctite and just now got the mirror back up. Easey Peasey!

Great informative video! Thankfully I haven't had any buttons come off the glass yet. But if I did I probably would've just grabbed the first product I saw at the auto parts store. Now I know👍

I've never had it happen on any of my fords but i did on my chevys.bought a new caprice in 77 and the mirror came off 3 weeks later i only touched it once...oops ..i let the dealer fix it ..after all it was under warranty...lol...good to see you again good repair on the mirror..see you on the next on ...Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great video on a fairly easy fix (if you know what to you). Thanks for the recommendations on the products to use as well.

Yup the parts store walmart stuff fails. Thanks for the video. Cool dog

Just ordered the glue! Exact same thing just happened a few days ago. I bought the permatex, and it fell off when I tried putting the mirror back on. I put my button on a belt sander to remove the glue, and ended up eating to much of the button. ordered a new button and Im waiting on the glue to come in.

A reliable fix :-D, it sort of reminds me of the original superglue when it first came out. But without the vapour that makes a white mess.

I've purchased the Loctite version and while it's very good, I was disappointed that the product showed up in a bottle that was only have full. I like your oil change sticker collection. :)

Once my youngest tried to use my Ranger mirror as a handle to get out of the booster seat. Etched both surfaces with a little sanding, and CA glued it. Two weeks later, she done it again.

No longer available on Amazon so hunting elsewhere for this. Thanks for the suggestion!

It appears Equalizer no longer sells their product. They have the "industrial size" LocTite kit listed there instead.

Your dog is such a hoot!!

Thanks Moe !!!

How about if the metal is stuck on the mirror?

Good stuff, Moe. Thanks for sharing. I have used the Loctite brand mirror mount before with good success.

We are all going to deal with this some day. Thanks a lot.

I used epoxy once after the cheap $10 kit failed a few months later. Car was sold almost a year later, atleast it lasted a year.

What’s up with the tag? My same Buick had one also.

l had a 64 c10 that l added a mirror from a newer car with map lights l scuff a small spot on the windshield cleaned it with alcohol let it sit for a hour put it back on still on 3 years late!!

Great video, thanks for the tip on the glue! I see the water dog is hard at work! Lol!

they DO WORK i have repaired at least 2 different mirrors it is all in the application

Nice work. I had one fall off years ago

I thought you were going to show how to drill a hole through the whole thing and run a bolt through it. Nothing works on the Taco because it has the heavy 2 map light mirror BUT i'll try this. Thanks pal and GBWYall!

If it's a UV glue, I doubt it would work with newer windshields with a "blacked out" portion near the mirors. (Cuz sunlight will never see it directly.)

With all the old cars I had & have (LOL) this only happened to me once. I cannot remember what I used but it did work. Hey Moe I have not seen you in awhile & noticed that my $ub is not on to your channel. Just corrected that. Hope all is well. 👍 4Z2 Stay safe, Joe Z

I just used versa-chem yesterday

I had a different experience with one of the Autozone kits, I put it on with everything cleaned well and accidentally knocked if off the next year while putting on a sweatshirt and it took a chip out of the glass with it.

Thanks! (and welcome back!)

$24.01 w/tax to NC and spose to be here July 1... Now how about building a portable fuel system. I've got a bunch on old cars and trucks that sit for months/years, all with bad fuel pumps thanks to ethanol, so as a temporary (to move them around) fix, I've been thinking of rigging up an external fuel system either by adding a fuel pump and regulator to a gas can, or doing something simpler like rigging up a venturi that I can place over the intake throttle/carb to feed the engine fuel.

Bout time they made something that works. By the way, are you still liking the rearview camera system you installed? I need to get a new one my old camera is trying to crap out I think.

Now I am wondering what else I can use that glue on

I got something from the auto parts store that worked fine... don't recall what brand or anything now, but the mirror I fixed with it has been up for like 3 years now. Oddest thing though when I was getting ready to do it, I lost the damn button so I went to the junk yard, rather than try to find the right button for my vehicle, I just got a mirror with a button..oddly it was quite easy to get off the car it was in. factory glue isn't all that great.

Does this glue work with plastic buttons also?

Had a pickup about 1980. One week after I made my final payment I got out of the truck and shut the the door. The rear view mirror fell off. Never used it so I throw it under the seat and never gave it a second thought.

What other uses are there for this glue? Have you tried it on other things? It would be a pity to waste 99.5% of it ;-)

Idk why the mirror falling iff in the baging reminds me if that scene in Toy Boy where the deer is in the car and kicks the mirror off lol.

Don't ya hate it when you break the mirror fixing your makeup lol

That intro... #emmynominationincoming

I don't think the Federation would approve of a Klingon product.

l used good ol krazy glue on my 64 C10

Every time my dad tried to glue those back on they broke. I've never tried it myself before.

Epoxy...?

Odometer - 327039 - That's a lot of miles.

Whatsa behind me, does notta concern me

Good stuff.....hope I don't have to use that. Oh your make up is starting to run!..take care bud!

Damned the RU-vid Rubes with no appreciation of your sublime doggie performances stick "go here, go there" blocks right on the screen in the way. How about AFTER the video? Is that so hard? Damned bunch of retreads.

Too hot to be fixing rearview mirrors dad, more hose please .

Thank you Mo! Great to see ya. That's excellent. I was thinking about putting warning signs on the outside of my windshield. I bet that stuff would work. HEY! WARNING! YOU MOUTHY SELF IMPORTANT PUNK! GET THE HELL OUT THE ROAD. YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A DAMNED SPEED BUMP TO ME! I'm practicing my Crotchetations for a stupid new world. A nice warning sign would be, marvelous!

I'll drop the ball but only for 6 seconds, like max !

damn 327k on an escort; thats has to be a record.
