Has anyone >ever tried either on a mirror repair? > ref. the mirrors - don't bother trying to glue the hex stud; been there, done that, didn't work. I ended up drilling a 1/8" hole right through the whole mirror assembly (obviously after re-seating the hex stud), then I drove in a 1/8 roll pin (1" long, preferably stainless steel). Did this on my '87 about 6 years ago, no further problems.
