Would you recommend using this to glue metal rear view mirror attaching arm/frame directly to windshield?

My impression is that this product is more suited for plastic and metal/gluing things to the body of the car. You might try RV Goop to glue your mirror back on because it lists glass as one of the surfaces it adheres to.

Hi, i had never use it for this special use, but if I need it I surely use it... You do not need to apply a large quantity, only a dab but we'll distributed and also you need to press it constantly for better adhesion, maybe with a stick from the central console or something. But I am sure it will work fine!

no, sorry chuck. it seems to have worked pretty good in the cold on the molding around my driver and rear door, but pressure was applied when the doors were closed. good luck. test it on something else 1st.

Absolutely. I just used this to hold up my rear-view mirror in my car, and it held amazingly!!! I would imagine it would hold even better on wood because wood is more coarse, and it would have more surface area to hold to. It is definitely the best option.

I think it could work. One thing I used it on was the broken plastic frame of my rearview mirror on my van and it worked really well. It adhered really well to the surrounding plastic and seems durable. You can sand and paint it as well, which I did.

Bracket that comes with mirror is made to grip existing rear-view mirror from top and bottom. You could fabricate a simple "hanger" that would slip over the top of the monitor and support the mirror. This would probably look pretty tacky.

Yes, I use it as a rear view mirror at the back of a camper trailer. Works well

A small amount of glue from any auto parts store that is designed to re-attach rear view mirrors will make anything stick to the glass. To fix jus the broken handle if most is still attached, krazy glue or gorilla glue gel will work.

It would be risky. I understand that this epoxy has good shear strength, however, you have to consider what you are bonding it to. If the back of the mirror is smooth, the epoxy might not grab the microscopic "valleys" in the back of the mirror, thus poor adherence. Also, keep in mind that the mirror is in a vertical position, so you would have to hold it and press it up against the wall for at least 1.5 hours for it to set, and it still won't be totally cured until hours later. A heavy mirror makes it even more risky. There is nothing like mechanical fastening (anchor and bolt) in brick or mortar with a cable on the back of the mirror (the trust factor increases). You don't want to be abruptly woken up by a loud crash because the epoxy failed eh? Also, the epoxy will be difficult to get off your fireplace. This is all my opinion and may not be 100% pure science.

I would glue all three to the windshield. You then have a 1 in 3 chance of getting the right one.

Yes it is safe, just try placing the mirror in a couple of spots to make sure it has the correct visibility before you remove the adhesive paper. Also this mirror rotates 360 degrees so finding a good view is very simple. Ps when removing it permanently for any reason simply spray some Goof Off behind the new mirror and use a plastic putty knife to seperate the two.

I doubt it very much... I would think tape or windshield star repair a better temporary choice.

I have only used it for windshield & glass installations, but I sure don't see why not. I consider most of the 3M products the best out there.

Simply put, break out remaining pieces or just laminate over it. Just remember that it can not be used with the mirror heat or it will dry out the tape. Better yet, the aftermarket mirror assembly is only $41 bucks and goes on with three or four screws.

This product worked fine, no problems. I had first used a 'regular' mirror adhesive from home depot to adhere 4 custom cut acrylic mirrors and ruined them all, had to reorder the mirrors. The mirror manufacturer itself recommended this product to me and I had no problems second time around when using this adhesive.

I would not attempt to do that, although I imagine it's possible. You've got two potential issues 1) visual obstruction and 2) a dangling power/cord.A better solution may be mounting low on the windshield as far left as possible. Another is to by a monitor incorporated rear view mirror.

i wouldn't recommend it. i use them replace windshield once i have the suction cup sitting on glass longer then a couple minute it seem to lose its grip

I used it to attach magnets to glass. It worked exceptionally well especially after the recommended curing time. No doubt it would attach the rearview mirror to the windshield if you can find a way to secure it while it's curing (tape?), my question would be if it would hold up to the heat and cold extremes. If my rearview mirror came off the glass, I would certain give this product a try, it really work on my application. (It was a rather heavy tempered glass plate (with sentimental value so I really didn't want it falling and breaking) that I wanted to put on my fridge. The glue was quite loose to work with, but cured like nothing I've seen before!! Super-duper strong.

What kind of mirror? If used on just a flat glass mirror with no frame, it could be a hazard when removed. It would be likely that the mirror would break before an attached spot would pull free. A broken glass mirror is an extreme cut hazard. In such case, regular mirror clips of plastic that attach by screws would be safer. However, if this is the best attachment method, then clean both surfaces with regular rubbing alcohol for good ahesion and figure that a one inch section of this tape will hold about 2.5 pounds and follow the instructions on the package for attachment. At least three points of attachment should be made. Be sure that both surfaces for attachment are free of wax, loose paint, oil, and dirt. It works !
