Stepped off a week long cruise ship in Long Beach. Apparently it was pretty hot while I was away. Anyone been down this path that can offer tips?
Anyone have their rearview mirror melt off? (1 Viewer)

I've never done that but if it were me, I'd look to Plio-Bond (the one with red & blue letters, not the green) and give that a go. It can be found on Amazon but be sure not to buy the one with green letters, that's junk.
NOT this one.

Well...I guess I'll be the first on this one. Picked this up earlier today. I'll start the repair as soon as the sun goes down...still too hot!I've never done that but if it were me, I'd look to Plio-Bond (the one with red & blue letters, not the green) and give that a go.

that might be good but remember not to over do it. You don't want to have to go back and scrape it with a razor blade once it's dry. How to keep it in place during the drying process is beyond me but I'd use a piece of wood to keep it up there, other than that then you're spending the night holding it up in the truck.

Well you have to remove the mirror button by unscrewing a torx #20 on the bottom of the mirror.

That Permatex stuff is pretty good. I think we used the same kit when mounting the mirror on my dad's C10 about 6 or 7 years ago. It splits its time between Redlands and OC though so maybe it doesn't see as much heat as yours.
