The procedure for independently connecting mirrors on the Lada Granta Liftback

Hi all! Now my hands have come to such a necessary improvement in the car as the installation of heated mirror elements, for this purpose, heated mirror elements for liftback mirrors were ordered and additionally purchased: a relay with a chip, fuse holders (3 pieces), wires, heat shrink.

I started working while at home, soldered a wire to one of the fuse holders, I will need it for power, and soldered the other two holders together to the mother contact, which I also purchased in the store (through this design, power will go to the mirrors themselves).

Then I began to work in the car itself, removed the door cards, after which I moved on to dismantling the mirrors, initially I removed the mirror element, moving it to one side as much as possible, releasing the clamps on the element, looking ahead, I will say that I was not able to save one element, it was cracked in the middle. The picture with the element removed looks like this:

For ease of wiring installation, I decided to remove the mirror completely; to do this, you need to unscrew three screws and remove the bracket from the adjustment lever. In addition, I removed the mirror coverings; with the element removed, it is not difficult to release the clamps.

We insert two wires through the mirror, one short for ground and a long one for plus; I measured the wires for ease of installation in advance with a small margin. Then we pull the wires through the hole into the door and, in principle, the mirror can be put in place

When installing the mirrors in place, I took the ground for the heated element from one of the screws securing the mirror to the body

Mom soldered two small contacts onto the ends of the wires and placed them in heat shrink. I left the wires with a small margin and hid them behind the mirror trim

After working with all the wires, you can completely finish with the mirror, install the trim and install the mirror element. By the way, since the case came up with disassembling the mirrors, I decided to put the trim in the body color, I ordered everything there, at Avtostolitsa63, the quality of the painting was a little disappointing, there were some smudges on the edges, but overall everything was good

Then I inserted the remaining positive wire through the corrugation into the car and brought it out to the driver's side toredo and began drawing the power wire that I had prepared at home. The place from the fuse to the passenger compartment was seated in a corrugation, and the rest of the part was temporarily left open. The short end of the wire was crimped onto a round terminal for attachment to the (+) battery. The wire enters the interior through the rubber plug of the headlight range control.

Other options

For some users, a more acceptable option is to use a separate toggle switch. In this case, you should make sure that the current limit through the switch, which is usually marked on the housing, exceeds the current consumed by the heating system.

For those who want to install electric adjustment at the same time as heating, the best option would be to use mirrors from the Lada Kalina. Grant's original glass is large and clear. Electric mirrors from Kalina are slightly smaller, so this method is a good option for those car enthusiasts who do not like enlarged mirrors. Other drivers should be reminded that their smaller size makes up for their much greater operating comfort.

The first step is to remove the old mirrors. They are secured with 3 screws, which can be accessed after removing the decorative trim. Next, new parts are installed and wires are pulled, as described above. A wiring diagram is included with the set of new electric mirrors. The control unit should be mounted above the buttons of the power window control module.

All connections are made taking into account the algorithm described above, as well as instructions for new parts. The result is a Granta with the required option - electric drive and heated exterior mirrors.

"> Hello everyone. Today at VAZ Repair we will talk about how to install and connect heated rear view mirrors on a Lada Granta at home. The article will be supported by informative photos, as well as step-by-step instructions, which will allow you, dear readers, to carry out such tuning yourself on your car.

To work you need to have:

Heated mirror kit. In my case, these are heating elements made by Salina; Copper wire 0.75-1 mm long 8-10 m; Small female terminal (2 pcs.); Terminal-ring “ground for screw” (2 pcs.); Clamp terminal (1 pc.); Fuse holder (1 piece); Soldering iron, probe, several screwdrivers, needle file; Heat shrink, electrical tape.

Note: The above components may differ depending on the connection scheme you choose. In my case, the connection will be made by connecting the heated mirrors to the heated rear window. Below I will provide three alternative connection methods that can also be used.

Do-it-yourself installation of heated mirrors on a Lada Granta - step-by-step instructions

1. First of all, you need to remove the rear view mirror. To do this, bend the mirror and unscrew the latches located in a circle.

2. Next we dismantle the mirror covers. The latches are clearly visible from the side of the removed mirror.

3. After this, we proceed to removing the door card. Everything is simple here, I think you’ll figure it out. For those who still need instructions, read this article, which describes everything in detail.

4. We insert the power wires of the heating element into the hole in which the wiring is laid.

5. Next, you need to disassemble the connecting block; I’ll tell you right away - it’s not an easy task. Pushing the wiring through the block, as well as the rubber corrugation into the interior, is quite difficult. True, if you know certain secrets, you can make your life much easier. To do this, you will need a thin round file, which is very convenient for drilling a hole in the block, into which the “-” power wire for the heated mirrors will then fit perfectly. We do the same with the “+” wire.

6. Next, we pull the wire through the rubber corrugation.

7. We connect the negative wires to the ground screw near the fuse box. I connected the positive wires to the fuse holder and heat-shrink everything.

8. In the bundle of wires we find two gray wires (the first goes to the fuel pump, the second powers the heated rear window, which is what we need).

9. We connect the fuse holder using a continuous clamp and the wire we need. We install a 15 A fuse in the holder.

10. We connect the elements to the “mothers” on the mirrors, after which we connect the heated mirror elements and install the trim.

11. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order and only after checking the functionality of the heated mirrors.

Reviews

Conclusion The process of independently replacing side-view mirrors on the Lada Grante Liftback is not at all difficult. The design is fixed with three screws, connection to the power circuit is carried out by two blocks with wires. Following the recommendations given in this manual, replacing a new mirror will take no more than 10 minutes. Negative reviews from some owners are unfounded and are caused by violation of the operating conditions of the technical equipment and failure to comply with maintenance schedules.

Specifications

Any models must meet the following criteria:

1. Clear reflection. All details should be visible even when shaking and swaying.
2. Visibility. The road behind the car should be visible to the horizon.
3. No color or shape distortion.
4. Separating the interior mirror in case of an accident. The structure should fold or break off when hit with a head.
5. Folding exterior mirrors. They should fold in the event of a sudden collision.
6. Safety. No sharp corners, splinters due to damage, etc.
7. Dimensions. The outer casing should not protrude beyond the vehicle body by more than 20 cm.

Connection

Connecting the central lock

. We use a circuit of two relays so as not to go under the panel to the central locking unit:

Connecting heated mirrors

(to the wiring harness under the driver's threshold)

Connecting mirror turn signals

:

• Option 1: Pull the wire from the direction indicator on the fender.
• Option 2: To the wiring harness under the driver's threshold (blue - left turn signal; blue-white - right).

We transfer the wires from the power windows from the standard buttons to a new block with a joystick.

For Lada Kalina and Granta with heated and electric side mirrors (without direction indicators):

The new mirror has a chip with six wires, but the old one has only five. We pull the sixth contact, which is used to operate the turn signals.

The process of installing exterior mirrors from a liftback on a Lada Granta sedan is also shown in the video:

Are you considering replacing old mirrors with new ones with turn signals?

A special feature of the Lada Granta Liftback is a new modification of the side-view mirrors. By default, they are included as standard, unlike the Lada Granta Sedan, Priora, VAZ 2109, 2108, 21099.

Due to various reasons, such as an accident, collision, impact, reflectors are damaged. The replacement process is not at all complicated; every car enthusiast can do it.

In order to provide methodological assistance to inexperienced owners of the Lada Granta Liftback, we recommend following the instructions below.

Required

What to do if the heating of one mirror on the grant does not work

Not much. On a cold car it was 14.5V according to standard.

Maybe there is a missing contact somewhere?

It's not a matter of network voltage. The voltage regulator has built-in thermal compensation. Unfortunately, she doesn’t understand that it’s not warm outside, but that the generator just got hot from the engine.

It is necessary to measure the voltage relative to the body on the heating elements in different modes.

It is likely that there is no difference in heating at idle and on the move (not taking into account the small difference in the voltage of the on-board network - more than 12.5 and ok) - perhaps the heating should be like that - for normal defrosting you do not need to make the glass hot - so that it does not burst over time, you just need to heat it to +5C for example and it will quickly dry under the influence of the wind. Yes, but on site it seems that the glass of the mirrors simply does not thaw

It's just an option. I don’t exclude that there is a problem, but definitely not because of 1 Volt

Yes, but on the spot it seems that the glass of the mirrors simply does not thaw. It's just an option. I don’t rule out that there is a problem, but it’s definitely not due to 1 Volt.

Heating only works when you hold the button and as soon as you release it turns off. What could be the problem?

Vanguyu - in the button!

some interesting thing is happening. Today I leave the yard in the morning, turn on the heated rear window, and instead I hear a hissing sound from behind. (the radio is turned off) out of harm’s way, I turn off the heating. Half an hour later I tried to turn it on again - it hissed again. It hissed for about 10 seconds and stopped. I'm knocking it out. I decided to turn it on again and it hissed again. it hisses on the right side under the casing somewhere according to the sensations.

I took the car to the authorities today. They puffed, but could not do anything. They told me to leave the car with them, they will make a request to the factory.

Damn, the mileage is only 3000. I bought a new car so as not to have to travel with it for repairs, and for the second month now I’ve been going to the authorities three times, and it also happens that they refuse the warranty.

How to secure and how to glue a new one

If you have successfully dismantled the mirror yourself, then returning it back will not be difficult. As a rule, all actions are performed in reverse order.

But you should pay special attention to the selection of glue, since not everyone is suitable for this process

it is necessary to choose the right adhesive for attaching the mirror to the windshield

Glue selection

There are three types of compositions for gluing mirrors:

• chemically cured;
• light-curing;
• compositions based on epoxy resin.

A composition with resins will work well only if it is allowed to dry properly. This usually takes from 10 hours to a day. In this case, the part must be pressed tightly at all times. This approach is not very convenient, so such products are not used in everyday life.

Light-curing mixtures operate when exposed to special ultraviolet lamps. This is one of the most common methods in production. However, if you are not the happy owner of a lamp, you should not purchase such a composition. Sunlight, especially diffused light, is not able to have a sufficient effect.

For these reasons, chemically cured compounds are the most popular. A special hardener starts the polymerization process. As a rule, they consist of the glue itself and an aerosol activator, although one-component compositions are also found.

Please note that some materials cannot be used to glue the mirror

• household superglue;
• double-sided adhesive tape.

The adhesive component of both materials has such a composition that when used on glass or metal, it will not be able to harden completely. High air temperature inside the cabin or heating of the glass from sunlight will soften it and the mirror will fall off. You can use household adhesives only if the mirror fell completely unexpectedly, and now you need to urgently get to a car service center.

How to stick to windshield

Having selected the appropriate glue, you can begin returning the rear view mirror to its rightful place. Choose a warm day for this or install a heater in the garage: the air temperature should be between 20 and 25 ° C.

process of applying glue to the holder platform

1. Clean the holder platform of any old adhesive residue.
2. Lightly sand the surface of the holder to improve the adhesion effect.
3. In the same way, sand the area of ​​the windshield where it is glued.
4. Degrease the holder and glass area.
5. Apply a thin layer of glue to the holder.
6. Spray a special activator onto the place where the part is attached.
7. Place the adhesive side of the part onto the glass. Try to follow the trail left from the previous time.
8. Press the mirror firmly against the glass and hold for the time indicated on the package.
9. After making sure that the part is firmly in place, clean the mirror from any remaining activator and glue around the holder.
10. Reinstall the windshield (if you removed it) according to the owner's manual.

Ready! If you followed all the instructions carefully, the mirror looks like it was installed at the factory or at least in a car repair shop.

How to install on bracket

If during dismantling you did not separate the bracket platform from the glass, it will be even easier to assemble it. To do this, find a fixing element: it may be a screw or a latch. After this, connect the bracket leg to the platform.

There are also special brackets that are not glued to the glass, but are installed on the ceiling or other elements of the car, for example, on sun visors.

​How to equip a Lada Granta with heated and electrically adjustable mirrors?

This work requires a little more skill than, for example, installing a spoiler. Therefore, having a little skill in handling car electrics, or an assistant with such, is welcome.

Heating improvements

So, if you just need heating, then it is better to use a standard part, replacing the glass with the same one with a thermoelement, or install it yourself.

Precautions before starting work:

1. Be sure to turn off the voltage of the vehicle's on-board network! (remove battery terminal)
2. To prevent accidental damage to the wires when the door is accidentally closed, install limiters.

Tools and materials you will need:

1. Branded mirror elements of heated mirrors;
2. Insulating tape;
3. Several meters of 0.75-1 mm2 wire;
4. 2 terminals “mother small”;
5. 2 ring ground screw terminals;
6. 1 screw terminal;
7. 1 fuse holder;
8. Round needle file, soldering iron, set of screwdrivers, heat shrink.

Wiring

The next step is wiring. To install the wiring, you will need to remove the front door trim.

When the door is disassembled, the wires are pushed into the door through the fastening hole, and the interface block is disassembled. Through it and the corrugation, the electrical wiring is pulled into the housing. In order to simplify the task, you can drill an unoccupied contact in the block, and thus thread the plus and minus. To pull the wiring through the door corrugation, it is more convenient to use wire

Important (!) - for your own convenience, it is better to throw in extra wires

By analogy, the same work is done with the right door of the car.

To power the heated mirrors in Grant, it is recommended to use the most common way - connect to the heated rear window. This solution is used on most modern cars. The order is:

1. The two negative wires from the heating are screwed onto a ground screw above the fuse block. It is not recommended to connect to ground inside the door, since electrical contact in door hinges and other moving connections is not always reliable.
2. The two positives are soldered to the fuse holder (15A) and connected to the gray wire in the harness on the floor. There are 2 gray ones. The required one is found using a tester when the load is applied to the rear window heating.

Thus, Granta's heated mirrors are connected via a relay and 2 fuses. All that remains is to connect the mirror elements to the terminals and evaluate the performance of the circuit. After this, the wires should be hidden under the casing.

Other options

For some users, a more acceptable option is to use a separate toggle switch. In this case, you should make sure that the current limit through the switch, which is usually marked on the housing, exceeds the current consumed by the heating system.

For those who want to install electric adjustment at the same time as heating, the best option would be to use mirrors from the Lada Kalina. Grant's original glass is large and clear. Electric mirrors from Kalina are slightly smaller, so this method is a good option for those car enthusiasts who do not like enlarged mirrors. Other drivers should be reminded that their smaller size makes up for their much greater operating comfort.

The first step is to remove the old mirrors. They are secured with 3 screws, which can be accessed after removing the decorative trim. Next, new parts are installed and wires are pulled, as described above. A wiring diagram is included with the set of new electric mirrors. The control unit should be mounted above the buttons of the power window control module.

All connections are made taking into account the algorithm described above, as well as instructions for new parts. The result is a Granta with the required option - electric drive and heated exterior mirrors.

Installation

Remove the door trims and dismantle the old exterior mirrors (by removing the mounting screws). Mirrors of the new SE model are installed in place of the old ones without modifications.

To install the joystick, make a hole in the door trim using a file or a utility knife. Sample:

To stretch the wires from the interior to the doors (see connection below), you will need to drill a hole in the door rosette with a drill (or find a suitable female-male connector).

Heated mirrors

Autumn and winter will bring both rain and snow, or even better, both at the same time, mirrors and our

visibility will suffer. Therefore, in wet weather, in snow or when the mirrors are icy, the “mirror heating” function is indispensable, because it will literally warm them up in 4-5 minutes and dry them, just while the car is warming up.

We buy special mirrors

Installation:

1. Remove the rear mirror trim and the mirror element - this is the most difficult and important thing.

2. Next, unscrew the 3 bolts from the interior and disconnect the mirror from the bracket.

3. Now you need to pull the wires through the special holes where the adjustment cables pass.

4. Assemble the mirrors in reverse order.

To work you need to have:

1. Heated mirror kit. In my case, these are heating elements made by Salina;
2. Copper wire 0.75-1 mm long 8-10 m;
3. Small female terminal (2 pcs.);
4. Terminal-ring “ground for screw” (2 pcs.);
5. Clamp terminal (1 pc.);
6. Fuse holder (1 piece);
7. Soldering iron, probe, several screwdrivers, needle file;
8. Heat shrink, electrical tape.

We present to your attention a set of side mirrors “Liftback” with overlays in the color of the car body with electric drive, heating and repeaters for Lada Granta, Kalina, Kalina 2 and Datsun on-DO, mi-DO. So, these original mirrors initially began to be installed on Lada Granta cars in the “Liftback” body, when such a body went along the assembly line of the Izhevsk AVTOVAZ plant. Afterwards, these mirrors began to be installed as standard on sedan cars. But the second generation Lada Kalina, as well as Datsun cars, which are produced on the VAZ platform, never received such mirrors, although as you understand, Granta, the “first” and “second” Kalina, as well as both existing Datsun models - it -DO and mi-DO - have absolutely similar door stamps and, accordingly, the mounting locations for the side mirrors. Perhaps the manufacturer believes that these mirrors are not suitable for these models from a design point of view and there are other reasons, nevertheless the fact remains a fact.

These mirrors, sold in pairs, are addressed largely to those buyers who have decided to replace the mirrors of other modifications installed on their cars with these. Or for those buyers who have similar mirrors on their Grant (VAZ 2190, 2191), but in a simpler configuration. Yes, yes, mirrors, like cars, can differ in filling. These mirrors, as they say, “come in complete mince.” Let's figure out what they contain.

Cases in body color

This is the first difference between these mirrors and the standard ones, because the body is painted in body color - this is a sign of expensive configurations.

Electric drive

This is the ability to adjust the tilt and rotation of the mirrors directly from the inside of the car. This is a very necessary function, especially in cases where the car is used by more than one driver in your family.

Heating of mirror elements

This function, in our opinion, is necessary in Russia in any case, without exception. In winter, mirrors often fog up and become covered with a crust of ice, and removing the ice from them mechanically is fraught with damage to the integrity of the surface of the mirrors.

Turn signal

This function is not mandatory, but rather simply relevant, fashionable and modern. Repeaters in the wings, in the old fashioned way, do not worsen the effect of operation, but it is believed that turn signals in the mirrors are a more practical and effective solution.

Enjoy your tuning and satisfaction with your purchase.

Connecting rear view mirrors Priora (SE)

Old style mirrors have 2 connectors with wires:

Block No. 1: mirror control:

SE mirrors have 3 connectors with wires (an additional plus (6th wire) is for the turn signal). Connecting new mirrors is carried out in the same way, all colors are the same, except for one - +12V mirror heating, brown is used instead of Gray.

Block No. 1: mirror control:

• red connects to red-blue.
• blue with blue-black.
• green with green-black.

• Instead of gray there is brown, we combine it with blue-red (black-red).
• black with black (used for heating and for turn signals).

Block No. 3: direction indicators:

For those who haven’t figured it out, here’s a diagram for connecting the SE side mirrors on a Lada Priora:

Connecting the SE mirror turn signals: You can take the plus for the turn signals from the direction indicators in the car's wing.

• Left wing - blue-black and black wires.
• Right wing - blue and black.

Good day to all!

Finally, the court decision came into force and I received the long-awaited payment for the accident. I waited a long time, but it was worth it. Many thanks to my lawyer Lyuba, she did everything competently and the result pleased me, although it all dragged on from 01/11/2016 to 08/08/2016 In general, if something “ugh, ugh” happens, contact me, I’ll introduce you to a good lawyer)))

In general, the repair of the ass amounted to 42k, the insurance payment was 113k (but that’s not all, because we will be sued further for a penalty). Part of the payment amount went to repay debts (repairs + insurance + small items) and the rest, of course, went to the car, well and bought my wife some goodies.

Well, the actual changes: 1. Mirrors from Granta SE and their control unit2. A little used strut (stock) and technospring springs -50 muzzle and -70 ass (new)3. Muffler and resonator (in 5 years I have never heard a current exhaust on it)4. Brake drums and brake cylinders5. Spark plugs, wires, filters (well, that's not interesting)6. Front fenders (not yet installed)7. The hood has been sent for revision (everything is incognito for now; I’ll write about how it’s done)8. Covers replaced

Let's start with mirrors. For a very long time I wanted something interesting and one day I was flipping through the page of Authority and saw grant mirrors on his 08. I immediately wanted to do the same for myself, especially since I have never seen Samara with such mirrors in our city. As soon as I saw it in the store, I immediately bought it. The installation was fun, because the fastenings are different, but it doesn’t matter, we have a drill))) and one more nuance, all the mirrors installed on the Samara that I looked at were modified in the triangle area, a part was cut off and puttied and painted. I was afraid to screw up and decided to try installing the mirrors as is, in principle it worked)) The installation is not finished at the moment, the control unit is not connected, but everything is ready for this (so far I have only connected the turn signals (for dimensions) By the way, all the necessary connectors are sold at Kuzbass market. In general, I’ll write down everything in detail later on the mirrors.

AvtoVAZ first began installing side mirrors of the new SE model (with heating, electric drive and turn signal indicators) on the Lada Granta liftback. Then they began to be equipped with Luxe trim levels of the sedan. The following describes how to install and connect standard liftback mirrors with your own hands to simpler versions of the Lada Granta sedan, as well as to the Lada Kalina station wagon and hatchback.

Block No. 3: direction indicators:

For those who haven’t figured it out, here’s a diagram for connecting the SE side mirrors on a Lada Priora:

Connecting the SE mirror turn signals: You can take the plus for the turn signals from the direction indicators in the car's wing.

• Left wing - blue-black and black wires.
• Right wing - blue and black.

Lada Granta RepliCar › Logbook › I installed repeaters in the Mirrors myself

Greetings) In general, the story is like this: I was talking with a friend of Sevenonstyle about alterations to my cars, I hinted at adding lighting to the interior door handles) I shared my thoughts with him)) And he went ahead of me and installed lighting in his doors)) Well, Handsome I think), and after some time he shares with me his thoughts about installing turn signal repeaters in his own mirrors), I was fired up by the thought that I would at least overtake him in this).

In General, it all started with the fact that when the door cards were removed in order to install acoustic podiums, I thought that it was possible to kill two birds with one stone, but in the end I killed three)) But about the third, the entry is above) and in the end, in order not to remove Maps several times, I decided to immediately move the turn signals to the mirrors)

The first is, of course, a theory, after reading Drive I decided that, in principle, it was feasible for my hands. I go to the Auto store and buy two repeaters for mirrors from Priora, 450 rubles each. For a piece. Okay, there are repeaters, Next you need wiring and a couple of plugs (the folder is female), I picked it up at Auto Disassembly. Then I started installing) First of all, I remove the repeaters installed from the factory on the wings, replacing them with Chrome “SE” plugs. Filmed during car disassembly of a VAZ 2110.

Next, I pull the wires into the cabin, it’s not at all difficult to do, at least on the passenger side, on the driver’s side it’s harder, but still possible. Next, I lengthened these same wires and included a double plug (male folder) in the circuit near the mirror under the door card. So that if anything happens the braid can be taken apart. There is a lot of room for wires in the Mirror. The next step was: Removing the mirrors from the car and then disassembling them into separate parts. First, I removed the top cover, it is held on by latches, it’s a bit of a hassle, but I managed) The main thing is patience, it’s better to pry the latches from the side of the Mirror itself, or rather under him.

When I took it apart, I roughly figured out what to insert where, where to cut the plastic, and I cut it a little bit many times, cut it, measured it, cut it, measured it. So as not to saw off the excess) As a result, when I fitted the repeater into the inner part of the mirror (Carrier), I secured it to it with a screw, it holds more than tightly enough. There is now even the possibility of installing repeaters from priors that are “ala Lexus”)

Next: We need to cut out a very Important part, the top Front cover. I’ll say right away that I didn’t have to cut anything out very much, but I did fit it, it’s very, very troublesome, if you want it to be beautiful, it’s better to take your time and try, I realized for myself in the end that I could have done better, but I still can’t fly into space, so I think it’s done 4))

After adjusting the front top cover and making sure that it closes tightly to the repeater, I needed to connect the wiring to the end.

I install the mirrors back on the car and insert the wires, then I solder the original + and - on each mirror to the repeater cable, and I completely pack the whole thing in hot-melt glue from a gun, the insulation is fire)

I put everything back in its place to the end and put the Door Cards in place and rejoice) All the best)) I hope I described it in detail))

How to glue a car mirror to the windshield

First we need to decide on the glue that we are going to use.

What glue should I use?

The main rule: the glue holding the interior mirror to the windshield must be two-component. Yes, there are many varieties of all-purpose glue. But in this case, universal glue will not work. The fact is that two-component glue perfectly withstands sudden temperature changes, high humidity, and most importantly, vibration. Conclusion: the mirror element should not be glued with universal glue.

There is a second option: use light-curing glue. This is a substance that quickly “sets” when exposed to sunlight. This glue can be purchased at specialized auto stores. But it has a serious drawback: to work with it, a powerful ultraviolet lamp is required, without which reliable bonding cannot be achieved. Some car enthusiasts claim that you can do without it, just sticking the mirror on a sunny summer day is enough. But such gluing cannot be called reliable.

The conclusion is simple: the best and least troublesome option for gluing a mirror is two-component glue. For example, Loctite 37438, which has become incredibly popular recently. By the way, it is sometimes used to glue DVRs that have a loose fastening device.

How to attach a mirror element

To keep the mirror securely on the windshield, you must follow the following algorithm:

1. Select the location for installing the mirror. It should be glued in the center of the glass, at the same distance from both the passenger and the driver.
2. The windshield is cleaned of dirt. First, this is done with a rag, then the surface of the glass is wiped with alcohol.
3. The mirror is disassembled as indicated above (after all, in fact, only the bracket on which the mirror will be installed needs to be glued to the glass).
4. A thin layer of glue is applied to the bracket and to the windshield. After this, you must wait at least 15 seconds. Glue is applied to the interior mirror bracket
5. Then the bracket is installed on the windshield and lightly pressed down manually (and if you decide to install the mirror entirely, without disassembling, then after installation it must be additionally secured with tape, which will support the mirror until the glue sets). The interior mirror is glued to the windshield
6. The glue must dry properly, so you cannot drive the car for 24 hours.

Installing the device on a bolt-on bracket

Not all modern cars have interior mirrors glued to the windshield. In some cases, the mirror bracket is attached the old fashioned way: with bolts to the ceiling. In this case, you need to act like this:

1. The mirror together with the mounting bracket is installed in the ceiling niche and held by hand. The interior mirror is installed in a niche and held by hand
2. Self-tapping screws are inserted into the holes and tightened using a Phillips screwdriver.
3. Sockets with installed self-tapping screws are closed with plastic plugs (provided that such are provided in the design of the bracket).
