EVO-STIK Rear View Mirror Adhesive, Fast Setting, Clean and Easy to Use

Product Information

I will try some of that Loctite glass specific adhesive first, then if that doesn't work, bite the bullet and try a carglass company. I like the idea of using regular silicone, but that could take hours to dry and I don't relish the thought of holding the mirror in place for that long. A downside to this product is the fact that the amount of product that you get is enough for just one use. Thus, if something goes wrong, you’ll probably have to go and buy another tube. The Loctite Rear-view Mirror Adhesive Kit compensates for a differential thermal expansion of parts and therefore, is also recommended for a metal vent window handle and hinges. Unlike most mirror adhesives, this one doesn’t have a strong odor. You’ll experience an unpleasant smell, but it won’t be half as strong as most of the others — another big plus! After waiting for about a minute, you should apply the adhesive to the rearview mirror. A little goes a long way with this glue, so a couple of drops would be enough. You should be careful and avoid applying too much product. In case you put too much glue on, it will need much more time to set.

Impact resistant- With its position in a car, a rear view mirror can occasionally be bumped. Our super strong adhesive will keep holding under normal circumstances where moderate impacts occur.Equalizer KlingON Rear View Mirror Button Kit sets in about two minutes. The adhesive is strong enough to hold everything together no matter the weather. However, you should make sure that you’ve given it enough time to dry out.

When you open up this product, you’ll see that it’s actually a two-part kit. But, even though that sounds complicated, the product is actually easy to use! Furthermore, the instructions are clear, and it won’t take you more than half an hour to figure out how it works and glue the rearview mirror on. To remove a rear view mirror mount from a windshield, first remove the mirror from the mount. Next, use a putty knife or similar tool to pry the mount off of the windshield. Be careful not to damage the windshield. Once the mount is removed, clean the area where the mount was attached with alcohol or another cleaner. Then, follow the instructions for gluing the rear view mirror to the new mount. What glue is used to attach a rear view mirror to a windshield? Drying Time. It often takes about 15 minutes for rear view mirror glue to dry following application. If it's cold outside, a hair dryer may aid in the drying process. The amount of time it takes the glue to dry is important because you may need to use the mirror shortly after it's installed on the windshield. First, you will need to remove the retaining clip that holds the mirror in place. You can do this by gently prying it off with a flathead screwdriver.The car is a 1995 BMW 520. Unfortunately the RVM is anything but lightweight (I don't think I have ever encountered a heavier RVM)and to make matters worse it doesn't appear to have a seperate "lug" or mount that can be glued on first then the mirror assembly clipped to it. Step #3: Apply the glue– Typically, mirror adhesive comes in two parts. One part is applied to the glass and the other is applied to the mirror button. Follow the instructions on your kit. The recommended bondline gap is 0.1 mm. Where bond gaps are large (up to a maximum of 0.5 mm), or faster cure speed is required, Activator should be applied to both surfaces.Parts should be assembled immediately (within 1 minute). Another important upside to buying a high-quality glue is the fact that it will have the effective low-temperature curing. But why does that matter? Well, in case of harsher weather conditions, the components could separate before the cure is complete. As a result, you would have to start the whole process of reattaching the rearview mirror all over again. Even though the Loctite Rearview Mirror Adhesive Kit is designed for attaching rearview mirrors only, this product can also be used for other surfaces. The kit can effectively bond aluminum, Plexiglas, acrylic, glass, and metal.
