Video tutorial

Most internal rear-view mirrors are clipped (dovetail mount) onto a small plate glued to the windscreen. It is quite common for the plate to come unstuck and need to be re-glued.

It is essential to thoroughly clean both the glass surface and the plate surface, and especially to use the appropriate adhesive, applying the primer first. Clean the glass using a razor blade and the plate using fine sandpaper.

Use solvent to further clean the surface, apply the primer, and then the adhesive, securing the plate and waiting for it to dry. Finally, reinsert the mirror.
