Got replacement mirror glass for our Fiesta car door mirror. It can be
fixed with a sticky pad supplied or with glue. The sticky pad will not
work with the glass carrier used by this door mirror, so it has to be
glued. The plastic is the type of black brittle stuff that discolours
when you bend it.
So, I need to know the best glue to attach the following:
1. A mirror to plastic (the mirror silvered surface will be in contact
with the glue)
2. Plastic to plastic (to reattach the mirror carrier to the holder
which has broken clips)


That sort of thermo set plastic is near impossible to glue. You really
need a replacment complete with mounting frame if a clip is broken.

If the frame still fits the pivot something like Evostick Serious glue
would fix the mirror to it - as well as anything.


I guess this should stick the plastic - looks like its made for it :-
