I gave up gluing them on years ago. Take it to a glass shop and have them
glue it on for $5. My 19 year old YJ still has the original in place. "Capt.

Cute.
It actually press-fits; it's high temp epoxy, and it's a high temp silicon rubber piece. I also have to go to a glass place for something else - I'll ask about a new "glue job". Plus I'd LIKE to replace the windshield. CP "Tom P" > wrote in message ... > Nice job Capt. Just wait for the glue on your little rubber do-hicky to > fail.

Or, you could have done what I did. Get one for older CJ's that was bolted
to the window frame. Drill a couple of holes and be done with it. Jeepnik "Capt.

Or, you could have done what I did: When I put a new windshield in my
CJ I left off the mirror. After a year or two you can't see details through the plastic rear curtain anyway, and I learned to drive in a windowless Econoline so outside mirrors are second nature to me. Connecticut requires that I have outside mirrors if I don't have one inside, so I'm covered there. I _think_ that the move to glue-on center mirrors was mandated by the NHTSA as an impact hazard to occupants. K Horner wrote: > Or, you could have done what I did.
