wingmirror sticky backing

[beaststeve]

where can I purchase a decent replacement sticky pad to re-attach wingmirror glass. I've tried heavy duty double sided tape but when it heats up it starts to slide off

Hi, I used silicon sealant on mine when the original backing failed. I didn't use much, and tried to spread it evenly to make sure the heat still transferred well. 2 winters later it is still holding firm.

I know there're others on here that have used sticky foam too. I'm sure someone has details & experience with cleaner foam.

I bought some double sided sticky foam pads from halfords a few years ago. Had no bother with them. Not sure if they still do them. They used to sell the replacement mirrors

Ditto on the sealant. 2 years on with no return of the wobble.

Is this the kind of stuff I should use??

Used the silicone sealant, worked like a charm. I'll let you guys now if the mirror falls off tho

Thanks for the advice

Last Z i got caught short mid hoon with a wobbly mirror miles from home , only thing i could find in the car was some fudge which i part chewed then applied , , worked a treat for the next 70/80 miles

Sorry, just saw this. I used the same stuff. It was clear, not black, but the colour shouldn't matter. 2 years in and still holding.

I recall using simple sealant gun stuff - household type, about £3 for 500ml!
