The mirror was loose and I caught it before it fell off and broke. I now have the glass portion in my hand and the backing plate is still attached to the aero housing on the car. I searched the forum and found a mention of using a silicon glue to reattach the mirror but no brand or name was provided. I have used Automotive Goop, yes that is the real name, no affiliation, to fix a lot of things but I do not think it will work on smooth glass. Any ideas as to a good product to use to reattach the mirror? I am thinking of trying a double sided tape that is used for attaching body molding.

This is my first 964, a 1992 C2, Guards Red, 119,000 miles, purchased 2 weeks ago. Just finished replacing rear Boge shocks with Bilstien HDs, will mount the fronts next weekend, car had Eibach springs when I purchased it. Also did a major tune up, valve adjustment, and distributor belt. A few more minor fixes and it will be ready to enjoy. This forum is a wealth of information!

 

You might try the glue used to attach the rear view mirror to the windshield. I expect you could get some at an auto parts store.

 

I do not think it it will work. The rear view mirror adhesive is for metal to glass, this is glass to a plastic layer that is not smooth.

 

Welcome!

You could try Automotive Goop - I used it to repair the clips holding the rocker panels on a few years ago and it is holding strong.

p.s. Pictures of your car are always welcomed!

 

Have you tried MasterBond or 3M?

 

Ended up using 3M double sided tape, covered the entire back of the glass with the tape and then attached to the plastic backing plate. Working for over a week at this point.
