Anyone else have a loose review mirror? I've read that if the adhesive loses its effectiveness Porsche will want to replace the entire windshield at my expense of course.
I'm hoping there is a simple fix for this and would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Mine actually fell off and was dangling by the wires. Porsche replaced entire windshield and mirror under CPO coverage at the time.

Yeah, there's a TSB (technical service bulletin) about the failing adhesive. The repair is to replace the whole windshield. VW/Audi had those problems too, back then. It's the mirror's base, what the mirror clips onto. I got mine replaced under warranty (991.2).

If you're out of warranty, you could take it to a window glass shop and they could take a crack at it (no pun intended). Haha

Lol, I think it's going to fall off any day now. Thanks

Since I'm out of warranty, I was afraid of that. Maybe I'll call PCNA and see if they can make an exception. Thanks

I’m sure I’m missing something, but why can’t it simply be glued back on?

I didn't want to wait until it fell off to know my options. It's an option but I doubt it will be that simple. I'll report back my findings.

Auto parts stores sell a repair kit for this for just a few dollars. There's a special cleaning solution for the glass and then a special adhesive, probably similar to SuperGlue.
It's certainly worth a try if the car is out of warranty.

Definitely worth a try, thanks.

If Porsche says the windshield would need to be replaced, maybe it’s an insurance claim. Check your full glass coverage policy for inclusions and exclusions.

Great suggestion. I just spoke to PCNA and I'm hoping for an out of warranty exception. They are working on it.
