Xantia rear view mirror and rain sensor

Post by Quackers »

Just looked out my window to see all the indicators on my Xantia flashing, which confused me as the remote does not work so the alarm is never set. The rear view mirror and rain sensor seem to have come unstuck in the heat and fell on the hazard button turning it on.

Is there some special glue i need to fix this back to the window?

Whilst my car doesn't have a rain sensor i had exactly the same problem with the rear view mirror falling off, i tried various products, some kits specifically designed for rear view mirror bonding, various glues, double sided tape, i tried all sorts!...some last a day or so...some longer but all failed eventually, so i did the sensible thing and asked those who fit car windows for a living (in my case Autoglass), went round to their workshop and the lad there stuck it back on & its never fallen off since and this was many years ago.

One thing i still recall him saying though is never use 'superglue' as the solvent in it actually weakens the glass.
Music keeps me going.
