    Hi guys. The glass on my wing mirror literally fell off and broke. I have got replacement glass and I'm just looking for advice on how to stick it on. The surface where the glass will go is fine. Any advice on what material to use to fix it on? Cheers.

    I had the exact same issue 5 weeks ago... Driving normally and boom, car wing mirror glass fell off and smashed to pieces.. To affix the glass plate to the wing mirror plastic, first you need to clean the plastic with a luke warm damp cloth to remove any of the old excess glue, then dry it with a micro fibre cloth.. Use any decent glue and apply to a back of new glass plate. Be careful putting it on as you only get one shot at it and hold it in place for about 3 mins to ensure glue holds glass in place. Don't overly adjust (electrically or manually) the mirror for about a week or it could fall and smash.. Or.. Go to halfords buy the glass replacement for your model of car (about 12 euro) and one of their guys will fit it for free.
