Cracked windsheild and broken mirror?

Post by xXRachaelFaceXx »

I recently bought a Lanos but it has a crack all the way down the windsheild because apparently some kid bashed his head off the mirror which broke off. Should I Dremel the glass off the mirror and try to gorilla glue it back on and ignore the crack or should I try to find a new windsheild? I also don't know how to take out the old one/put in the new one if I have to do that. Just some advice would be nice please.

You should be able to go by a local automotive glass store and they will be able to both quote you on the replacement of the windshield and tell you their opinion about fixing the mirror.

Usually there is specific adhesive used for gluing the mirror, I just can't remember what type.

Gorilla glue might work, but odds are it will only be a temporary fix and it will eventually fall off again.
