Window catches

[johnjolly]

Can anyone suggest the correct method of glueing window catches to glass on R4's nothing seems to last long.

I've had good success with the stuff from halfords that has an "activated gauss".

Lasted 2 years so far.

I find Araldite works just fine.

I have been using inner mirror adhesive too. Excellent results, provided that the glass and catch surfaces are perfectly flat and clean (use some 1000 or 1500 wet and dry paper on the catch pin).

I used special glass-glue, needs UV-light for hardening. So far so good, did a catcher and the rearviewmirror with it. Think it was this one: click.

Like angel says: you need to sand the catcher-metal down with some sandpaper and clean both parts really well.
