sticky situation
Actually the local "FLAPS" can't sell the same stuff that professional
window installers use. It is very close but it isn't as strong. Anything YOU
can buy won't be forever. It's pretty much a waste of money.
Good news is that 99% of the autoglass companies will glue this for you for
free. The stuff they use is BAD MOJO. The crap that Autozone carries is
somewhat tamer so the kiddies don't huff it, and it will come loose as they
figure if you aren't a pro, chances are you are going to try to glue your
fingers together.
My 87's mirror fell off the other day... I drove up the street and asked a
autoglass place to do it. No problem... took about 10 seconds. Some states
prohibit them from doing this if the glass is cracked. My windshield is but
they did it anyway and gave me a quote on new glass. Real simple and
painless.
