[DMCForum] Re: Rear view mirror

Wanna bet?  I would go without a rear view mirror before I
would chance super glue.  It's not that glue and glass don't
get along.  It's that if you fasten a metal plate to the
glass, then this interferes with the way the glass naturally
expands/contracts with changing temperatures.  The mirror
button holds the glass still while the glass around it
expands and then CRACK.  Leave the car out in the sun on a
burning hot day, and you will see what I mean.

On an old GM, I got so damned tired of having the mirror
fall off that I finally glued it up with JB-Weld.  That was
a permanent fix.  But DeLorean glass doesn't behave like GM.

A local nameless friend with his DeLorean made a bracket
that holds the mirror to the ceiling.  At least it can't
crack the windshield, but it allows too much vibration.  He
did this because he mounted one of those electrochromatic
auto-dimming mirrors.  I'm curious to try something like
this myself.  I already have the mirror but never found the
time.
