Folks,

Recently installed a new pair of OE side mirrors on my 85.

Although I snugged them down pretty good, the first Highway gust pinned
their ears back but good.

No problem .... I have followed the Mirror threads ....... take them apart,
scuff, sand, gouge and a general roughing up of various interfacing parts
will do the trick .... NOT.

Back go the ears again.

The wheels inside the noggin begin turning, never a pretty sight and always
a dangerous end result.

Something sticky applied to those same surfaces is what the situation needs,
me thinks.

Sugar water, Pepsi, Glue?

An experiment ..... one mirrors innards get a light coating of RTV ....
sticky, not hard.

The other gets its innards stuck on a piece of Duct Tape and rubbed around
on the glue.

And the winner is ..... based on onesdays' commute, back and forth, with a
stiff head wind ...... DUCT TAPE.

Yes Friend and Foe ..... once again the miracle of Duck Tape comes to the
rescue.

I kid you not.
