re: Vent Window Glue

[Jay Negrin <jmnegrin@domain.elided>]

And my two cents on this.  I assume that the situation is the same, but
location is slightly different; the rear view mirror glued to the
windshield.  My mirror broke, so I bought a generic replacement, which
came with the adhesive.  Cleaned the glass and mirror base with acetone,
applied the adhesive per instructions, and for a couple of days it
worked.  Came out to the car after it was parked at work to find it had
fallen off.
Tried again, with a different brank of ahdesive, from a car parts place,
and same results.

Finally - Went to a glass shop close to home.  They did it in less than
10 minutes, while I waited.  The mirror is still afixed to the
windshield.  Cost?  Only 10 or 15 $US.  AND, it is still working.  No
strokes for DIY, but I have a working mirror, thank you very much

John Gallagher asked. Anyone know what glue to use to reattach the vent
window latches on a Spider? Thanks.


John I've tried, my mechanic tried, and we both gave up.  I know of
three other AROC South Florida Member with the same problem.

If anyone has  a solution..Please help John and I.

I was thinking of having a hole drilled in installing a nice chrome
fastener from the out side in.  This way if someone wants to get into my

car they can just use a screwdriver and not brake a window or cut my
top.  I this doable, can safety glass be drilled?

Thanks People
