Title: Attaching something to glass
Post by: T_J_G on 10 July 2011, 12:26
So the interior mirror fell off on my Bora so I need to find an adhesive to attach the blak metal disc to the windscreen. It's a auto dimming mirror but connects in a similar way to the normal mk4 mirrors.

Would Tigerseal do the job, ideally it needs to be black so it's hidden well.

Any suggestions!

Tigerseal does seem to bond everything rock solid  :undecided:

Oh :( I bought some loctite glass glue as after looking at the mirror bond i didn't want to attach that mesh as it's white and can't cover the rain sensor.
