View Full Version : Car Problems...
So, I jump into my car today.. and then I notice something's wrong. My rear-view mirror fell off the windshield and is sitting on the floor.
...
It looks like it's just a bit of glue that melted from sitting in the sun.. but maybe not? Anyone ever heard of a problem like this before? :confused: :mad: :curse:

Yeah...it's a Twin Brooks thing. Don't worry. On the other hand....I have a nice red Sunbird for sale with a good windshield. *wink*

Sorry, no true help. I'd try glue. Strong glue.

Trade you the Taurus with a whopping 70,000 KM for the sunbird and 2k :thumb:

Well, my Dad jumped in the car before me... so I blamed him :nod:
Yeah. It's happened to me before. You can buy replacement kits at places like Canadian Tire. The intructions are fairly easy to follow.

How did that happen Brian?
I've been having a bit of car trouble too, I need new tires. I roasted mine off earlier tonight on the lot. :laughing:

My guess is the sun.
Thanks Man U!
#1 problem you are driving a Ford. Enough said.
My guess is the sun.
Thanks Man U!
Yeah, they've been known melt off in heat-waves. Just get the kit to glue it back on as opposed to the whole replacement one.

How much will that cost? (Assuming a few bucks here.. any more and I may cry ;))

Brian I've never heard of a rear view mirror fall off and unfortunately glue for transportation devices never comes cheap.

My glue-on kit from Canadian Tire cost me but 4 dollars.....

OK maybe for cars, but I know for boats it doesn't come cheap either.

Has happened to me twice. Once in Vancouver and once in Kelowna. Both times I took it to a Speedy Auto Glass and they did it for free!
Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. FIAT stands for Fix It Again Tony and AMC used to stand for A Mechanics Companion.
You think a mirror falling off the windshield is bad? ONce I was with a girl friend and it was really hot out. She tossed me the keys to drive us somewhere in her car and as soon as I opened the door... a lighter sitting on the dash board exploded and slammed into my stomach... I thought I had gotten shot for a minute LOL.
I still don't know why it exploded, but I assume it had something to do with the heat. :shrug:
For the record it was some kind of japanese car, I can't remember the brand... but the car had nothing to do with the explosion..... at least as far as I know. :conspire:
