Hi peeps.
I've eventually got round to buying a proper rear view mirror for my buggy to replace the suction cup jobbie which kept falling off and looked a bit pants.

There are plenty of kits available for sticking the mirror to the screen, but are they all good, or do I need to avoid any?
Anyone got any recomendations for ones which have worked well please.

Thanks

I always use the one that comes with a little square of black mesh.

What I use also....  Try to choose a warm, dry day.

Can I ask where you got the mirror itself from and do you have a link to it please. I have looked for a replacement for my suction cup one and cannot seem to find anything suitable.
Thanks.

Worth a look on Car Builder Solutions, Pop Browns and SVC Stafford Vehicle Components for a pretty wide range

I got it through FB. Someone had it still packaged and unused, so not a 'go to' retailer.

Great thanks all.
All that time I've spent looking around and now I've got exactly what I was looking for on order with 24 hour delivery. Should have just asked before I guess!

Lesson learned there mate. Generally if no one on here can help you're really in trouble.

Just out of curiousity where did you find it?
