E34 need rearview mirror back on windscreen

[kiwi328i 118]

Hi,

I bought another E34. The rearview mirror has been torn? or whatever from whatever mount they have permanently affixed to the windscreen. There appears to be remnants of a previous epoxy-like hack job left on the windscreen, there is no mounting-whatever to be seen. I have the original rearview mirror in the boot, but I think the a-joins-b, part is missing that connects the thing to the front windscreen.

Who does this sort of repair? I think I have to buy another rearview mirror to begin with, as the original is looking worse for wear and I believe it is missing the part which would make it easier to affix to the 'mounting plate'on the windscreen.

Any thoughts?

I was wondering why I couldn't just fit another more modern rearview mirror to it, for a say e46 onwards etc if I am starting with a clear windscreen? I don't need the autodim whatever it is hooked up or anything, but a more modern looking rearview mirror might be nice nevertheless.

Cheers

I like the late model idea. Novus or similar will be able to help other wise you could try urethane or something like that

Yeah they just glue onto the windscreen... I put trim tape on dad's escort's mirror and it's STILL there.

i have plenty of mirror options and the little mount part.

i use a local modile windscreen guy to glue them on , or try some glues yourself

Brent - Wurth probably visit you - They sell the glue to do it yourself, if you want to.

I went to the Wurth website, its awesome, they have this stuff called 'special adhesive' which looks like the perfect adhesive to accomplish what I am hoping to do. I will also try to use their windscreen sealant and try swapping my E34 rear windscreens over too.

Thanks for the feedback everyone
