Mirror adhesive

[Ameer Antar]

I've also used the Loctite stuff twice on my dad's wagon. The first time it 
came off in a a few months, but the second time lasted 2 years now, so I 
think it's important to prep and have a clean surface. I didn't want to 
change the position of the mirror, so I just used a flat razor blade to 
remove the old junk, just like they do at emissions. It's very easy to 
remove b/c the glue is very brittle, at least in my case...good luck
