sticky situation

[gatesj at mailblocks.com (John Gates)]

Sorry, replied before I saw this.

What I have found though with the FLAPS stuff is that if you do it 
EXACTLY right according to instructions, it is permanent, including on 
an old truck I was using to bomb around in the woods for firewood, 
applied several years ago.  If you don't do it exactly right, yes, it 
will be off again in days/weeks/months.

I'll have to try the auto glass place stuff next time though..

Actually the local "FLAPS" can't sell the same stuff that professional
window installers use. It is very close but it isn't as strong. 
Anything YOU
can buy won't be forever. It's pretty much a waste of money.
  Good news is that 99% of the autoglass companies will glue this for 
you for
free. The stuff they use is BAD MOJO. The crap that Autozone carries is
somewhat tamer so the kiddies don't huff it, and it will come loose as 
they
figure if you aren't a pro, chances are you are going to try to glue 
your
fingers together.

100% agree.  The stuff they use you can put your mirror on the metal in
seconds.  And it has been on the Caddy since I got it and had lots of 
rough
miles with lots of vibration, no problem.  Since I had the installer 
(came
to my house) do a couple other glass things, he did it for free.
