Rearview mirror keeps dropping off

[Carrie]

The rear view mirror on my 2005 Voyager 'stow and go'keeps dropping off. We've tried glues and sticky pads, but nothing seems to work.  The latest was supposed to be a state of the art fix it kit. Nope, didn't work. I 'm hovering between annoyance, frustration and anger here. Has anyone a solution that actually works?

Nope sorry, same thing happened to me last year. Bought two different 'solutions' - pads etc. one lasted a week, the other approximately 1/2 an hour. My original detachment was due to me attaching a dash cam / rear view screen to the mirror which worked well until a really hot day must have melted the glue on the factory 'fit' / glued mount. My solution presently is to file the mirror away in the glovebox.

Hi there!

I tried the actual glue for car mirrors to windscreens, lasted many months, then a hot day saw it off. Tried it again, OK for quite a while, then off.

So now I've used superglue the last couple of times, arm gets a bit achy while it goes off sufficiently, but it does last a good while!

Seem to remember that Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning, Araldite, and something to hold it in place while it was setting fixed mine many moons ago.

I had that problem before with a different car , ended up using a suction mirror ( the type driving instructors use )
