Yes, Richard I agree with you about the use of epoxy glue.  However, =
have not gone to that extent.  Try the spit on the suction cup and let =
me know.  Anything to make our old cars more comfortable to drive.

Thanks; got them, looks good.=20

I understand the situation. My windshield cell phone holder falls off =
similarly. I still have the one mirror on each wing and on the dash. I =
attached the wing mirrors years ago as I thought maybe they would work =
attached to the doors. But that didn=E2=80=99t solve the problem so I =
went with the wings. Not great but workable.  I had also tried the wide =
angle mirror clipped on to the dash mirror but I didn=E2=80=99t find it =
helpful.=20

Just a thought: auto parts stores sell an epoxy glue to reglue =
windshield mirrors that have been knocked off. That might make it more =
=E2=80=9Cpermanent=E2=80=9D.

Thanks again

Maybe you can see this picture as I enlarged it.  The other improvement =
in my BJ8 is to install a clear plastic shield behind the front seats =
mounted to the rail used for the tonneau cover.  I bought it from =
LBCarCo, so I will stop losing hats in the wind and my wife will not =
complain about the wind in her hair.  You can just see it in both =
pictures.

Cannot show everything as the car is in the shop having the engine =
rebuilt in Florida while I am in at our summer home in Michigan.

I know this will sound good for most of our Healey owners, however =
finally I got tired of trying to see the 2 mirrors on my front fenders =
and the tiny one on the dash.  First, I tried clip on panoramic mirrors =
on the dash mirror.  Not very good as they kept falling off and were too =
low really see behind.  Next, I tried a panoramic mirror attached with a =
suction cup, but it kept fall in off the window.  Finally, I found the =
best mirror for seeing behind and the sides.  It had a great suction cup =
with the ability to tighten the fixture, so it was really locked on the =
window, although I is not glued to the window.   Also, the panoramic =
feature allowed me to raise it up to the top of the windscreen.  I =
bought it from amazon:

Bittwee Car Rear View Mirror, HD 360=C2=B0 Adjustable Anti-glare =

Also, I removed the original mirror from the dash so I can see ahead and =
the sides of the road..=20
