How to Repair a Broken Rearview Mirror Pivot?
1 Answers
If the pivot of the rearview mirror is broken, the following materials can be used for repair: strong double-sided tape specifically designed for rearview mirrors; AB adhesive for rearview mirrors; invisible glue; UV glue. These materials can effectively bond plastic and metal. Regardless of the adhesive chosen, it is important to clean any residual glue from the rearview mirror before application and avoid hanging overly heavy objects during regular use. Below are some relevant details: 1. Repair considerations: Generally, the rearview mirror pivot is made of plastic, which can easily break under improper force. Although it can be temporarily fixed with glue, the repair may not last long, and the strength cannot be guaranteed. 2. Solution for a broken left pivot: If the left pivot of the rearview mirror is broken, it usually cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced. Replacing the entire assembly at a 4S shop can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand yuan, and insurance may cover the expense. 3. Other potential issues with rearview mirrors: Besides pivot damage, rearview mirrors may also encounter other problems, such as scratches or paint peeling on the mirror housing; shattered mirror surface; or severe damage to the mirror housing.
