The story is if you glue the mirror directly to the windscreen it will crack it. You are supposed to glue the pad to the mirror and then to the windscreen. Get in touch with the vender you bought the windscreen from and they can give you all of the details.

The glass arrived with a small foam pad that warns that I should use it when I affix the new button. The rest of the rearward-looking world just sticks the thing directly to the glass with adhesive made for the purpose. Is there a dark secret about DMC glass we should know about? The pad is not self-adhesive and can't be used to actually stick the button on. Has anyone actually used one of these? I would appreciate someone shedding some light on the best way of affixing a mirror to the windshield. > Thanks, > Rustproof > Vin# 1559 > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
