3rd Time Attaching Rearview Mirror– Glue attached to windshield Using 5-minute Eproxy

Just a month ago, I re-attached the rearview mirror (4 years after my first video showing how to re-attach the rearview mirror), but then it fell off again. Certainly last time was a complete failure. This time I spend more time investigating why it failed. I am doing something different to fix this time so that the previous failure would not repeat again. Last time I had two choices:
1. repeat the process of the first fix and see if it works.
2. find the reason it failed and do things differently.
Since the first choice did not work, I am now trying the 2nd this time in this video.

Previous videos of re-attaching the rearview mirror are shown below:

Hard to Believe: Young Girls With Such Bad Etiquette At EV Charge Station

Hard to Believe: Young Girls With Such Bad Etiquette At EV Charge Station

This is my own real experience, what happened at the EV charge station at Walgreens 399 El Camino Real South San Francisco, CA 94080. Please share this video with as many people as possible. I was so surprised at the lack of courtesy of a couple of people using the quick charger at a charge station next to the SFO airport. By liking this video and sharing it you may help yourselves and a lot of others.

I wanted to take some EV charge station videos when I went to the San Francisco Airport to pick up someone. I knew I had to stop at some EV charge station since the airport is pretty far from my house. I chose a station with quick Level 3 charger because usually a quick charger stops after 30 minutes so my waiting time would probably not be much more than that. And I was so wrong, but not because there was more than one person in front of me. I really couldn’t believe it.

Everything You Want to Know About EV Charging – My Adventure


There is only one kind of gas station but there are so many different EV charge stations. There are different charging networks and different equipment manufacturers and standards.

I will share with you my adventures at various EV charge stations and the mistakes I made. If there are people at the charge station ahead of you, you may not know what to ask yet, then, after other people leave, and it is your turn to charge, then there is no one around whom you can ask. Sure, you may feel embarrassed about asking questions, but you should be grateful if there is someone around the station who can explain things to you. When there was no one around, I had to spend a long time to figure things out myself. I really wished someone had made this kind of collection of videos for me to learn from.

4 Years Later, Attaching Rearview Mirror Again — Glue attached to windshield


4 years after my first video showing how to re-attach the rearview mirror, it fell off again. While I am glad that it lasted 4 years, it tells me that something is not right. I am not sure why it came off, so I will experiment more and share the results with everyone. I have two options:
1. repeat the process and see if it works.
2. find the reason it failed and do things differently.
Since the rearview mirror repair glue/kit is only $2 at Walmart, it is sensible to first try #1. If it does not work, then I will try something different.

The video of re-attaching the rearview mirror is shown below:
