    This is probably the third or fourth video I have come across on such repair in which they are all good but yours is the best because you actually perform a stress test on the glued piece. Thank you dear Cheap Wheels.

    I think I see some deep thinking in starting this channel, you now have a reason to pick up all sorts of old vehicles so you can keep fixing stuff. Smart guy, it will be interesting to see how many Ford trucks you can end up with before Brooke says anything. Thanks for sharing.

    Now, I followed your instructions completely.... lets see how the repair works out long term. I got 5 or more years out of the last repair, but I didn't study before making that fist repair. I squeezed really hard and had way to little glue, left to hold on. One drop with firm pressure 30 seconds to a minute... give it an hour before installing the mirror. The price now in june 2023 is $7.85 for the .." ALL NEW- Permatix EXTREME STRENGTH glue ". A Bargain still, ...when you get your Rear View back.

    I’m having a completely different issue because my button is still attached to the windshield itself. I don’t need adhesive because the button has not fallen off and is glued on there super tight. Whenever I click the rearview mirror back onto the button, it will stay there for a few days before it clicks and falls off. What would you suggest in this case?
