We got the rugged tuff exactafit mirror for this. They say to remove all the broken glass.
But there's a heating coil behind it. And the mirror is on firmly.
Thoughts on putting the replacement mirror directly on the broken mirror? They give you 6 2" disks to adhere the new mirror to the existing backing. Even if the broken mirror pieces move different with temp, the disks are foam / there's a tiny amount of flexing they can do?

I got some permatex super weeatherstripping adhesive.
I cleaned the weatherstripping and body, applied a thin coat to both surfaces, waited 10 min then applied.
After a day, I can pull the weatherstripping off with a little more effort than without the adhesive.
Is that's what to expect? Not a permanent bond?
I used old contact cement (the permatex smells similar) and got the same, slight improvement in holding vs. no adhesive.
What would you use? is this the best I'll get?
I do realize too - it's got metal in the weatherstripping. I can likely squeeze the weatherstrip to get it to hold on better?Read More
