Attaching something to glass
« 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:

Loctite Mirror Bond, we sell it for £3.50  :smug:


I don't think a semi will give the same results
