Re-attach rain sensor mirror
I have a 2000 Boxster S. The mirror came un-stuck and upon examination, I discovered a sticky disk on the inside glass that was easy to scrape off and looked like clear double-sided tape. Forum posts dealt with getting the metal disk out of the mirror and using special glue to reattach. This seemed different so I dropped into the local dealer and asked what they knew. At first, dumb looks, then a mechanic said older cars with rain sensors used a special double sided disk that is a Porsche part. They had it, so I was on my way.
My question is, do I need to apply pressure over time, does it need to "cure" or is this a stick and go operation. There is an alcohol swab for cleaning but no instructions, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has experience with this type of fix. Thanks for the help!
