Wing mirror glass glue / adhesive
Hello and thank you for reading this message.
My Volvo is a 2006 V50. It's still great. About three months ago, the left side wing mirror glass became loose. I took it off and fixed it back in place with Loctite superglue. But I guess because I often use the heated mirrors system, the Loctite has broken down and the glass nearly fell off today. Which glue / adhesive should be used? I have two part Araldite so could this be suitable? Thank you again for reading this message. |

Would not use cyano super glue as once cured there is no flex in the bond. Loctite do a 60 second all purpose glue, gives a strong bond similar to superglue but has a little flex once cured. Another to think about is Stix-all, a very strong adhesive with a silicon base, sticks like s@@t once cured, costs about £6 a tube. only down side being it's a silicon gun size cartridge so you could be spending a lot of time looking for other things to repair.

I used bathroom silicone when one of mine came loose 3 years ago. Still held fast 👍
