Use the search. Its a good thing to know that most plastics start to fail at 160 F to 200 F, and if its cold its likely to crack, but room temp should work fine. Try getting VHB tape if you can, it has a stronger hold and a way longer life. Seeing how I fixed the rattle on the out side of the trunk 6 years ago and its shows no sign of wear.

I should have taken picture when I did it to show you how its done. On a hot day I used 2 smallest allen wrenches to hold open a gap at the top of the mirror, cut a piece of the tape down to about 1/8" x 3/4" and used a 3rd small allen wrench to get the tape into the gap. Just don't try and pry with the allens they are there just to hold open the gap, use your fingers to open up the gap, the glass in the mirror is thick but you still don't to risk chipping the glass.


I'll take some pictures of how it came out later.
