How many rear view mirrors have you guys had to glue back on?

Fell off the day after I installed the sub. Had it glued back on at a glass shop, which happens about every 6 months. So far it has fallen off 3 times. That's in my g/f's car with 1 12" R sealed.

Not really buddy. If the mirror is on properly it would take hours upon hours of 150+ levels to get it to fall off.
Are you saying you listen to music daily in excess of 150 decibles?

I say if it falls off the first time, put it back in with a screw or a nail.

Heat buildup can affect the glue after a while . Back in the s-10 days , It fell off enough times to make me stop putting it back up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

My rearview mirror has never fallen off. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And there have been setups in my truck that have exceeded 150 dB's below 45 hz. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Now, if you guys wanna talk about mirrors breaking, rearview mirrors are the most common one. How many of you have broken an OUTSIDE mirror?





That was with the single 10" mind you. Granted that setup is louder than 95% of this board, but still.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

And excuse the EXTREME filthyness of my truck. Those pictures were taken back in march when it was still snowing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sorry, but never heard of someone's side mirror breaking from it. I have had and been in some cars way louder than yours too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

He mentioned snow...so maybe it was frozen?

I've also seen/heard cars louder than mine with the rearview mirror still firmly attached. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I'm just saying that the rearview mirror is the more common one to fall off/break.

And just so we are clear, my mirror DID break from my stereo. I was doing some testing (playing test tones) and on the 2nd or 3rd burp it knocked the glass out of the mirror. I haven't fixed it yet because i'm not sure where I could get replacement glass for an aftermarket mirror. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
