    A trip to halfords :)

    The other week my interior rear view mirror fell off So i bought some cheapo sticky pads which done the job fine... but when ya blasting it along the motorway the mirror is jumping around... so is the image you are seeing.... which means it takes ages trying to focus on whats behind you.

    Well today i thought enough was enough. A trip down to halfords and £3.29 later. I bought some marverlous mirror glue stuff. The mirror is solid now I sat for about 5 minutes holding the mirror with the engine running and the hot air blowing onto the windscreen to allow the glue to dry. Superb Stuff....


    No more jumpy jumpy mirror

    Sometimes there's a little metal button you can take out of the mirror. If you just glue that to the windscreen it means you don't have to hold the whole mirror up there.
    I own a PC that changes regularly, so I don't bother putting anything in here...

    ROFL, reminds me of a m8 of mine who tried to superglue his mirror back on when it fell off...

    yeh i know. Apart from i tried this last time. And its such a bloody tight fit it ripped the sticky pad apart. So i decided i'd make the effort and look like a n00b, holding the mirror upto the windscreen for 5 minutes.
