This was recommended by Brian from Steve Harris Imports. It's a "single use" kit (0.6cc) that's in a card. The glue is so thin that I doubted if it was going to work. Well, it did and still does. Just make sure to scrape carefully all the old adhesive fragments from the glass and rearview mirror base. You may have to hold the latter for a few minutes to hold it in position until the glue cures. Very simple to use and effective. This seems to be a common "problem" with the 328's. When I test drove an '89 328 (7K miles) at FoA last year, the mirror fell too.

Like JRV I have 14 in stock and unlike the glue, this is a triangle patch that fits perfect on the mirror base.

I do happen to have in stock the "Last Batch" of SPECIAL FERRARI rear view mirror glue if you want to keep your car all original. It's expensive but well worth it to the right owners. If interested let me know. {} Dave (Maranelloman) Intermediate Member Username: Maranelloman Post Number: 2379 Registered: 1-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 6:36 pm:    Wow. I didn't know there was such a thing. Thanks, JR.

Can anyone suggest advise on the best way to re-attach it? Thanks in advance.
