shelbytexan Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I've got some carbon fiber mirror covers and need to install them. I called spp and was told to use black silicone to install them. If this is correct then do i spread the silicone over all the old mirror and then install or do i spread the silicone in just spots and then install. Also i have heard about using one sided 3 m tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm198 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 that stuff is strong I would just do some spots and let it set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07-2937 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 spread it thinly all over then press and tape the entire cover on for 1 day wipe any squeeze out and after curing you can easily remove any additional squeeze out by rubbing a finger over it... I started the use of rtv while I worked there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I just used the 3M tape and it worked great ... but it is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 mine were not holding with the black stuff, so i cleaned them up and used 2 sided tape and no probs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbytexan Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks to all for the comments. I squeezed a few spots of silicone on the mirrows and installed the covers. Hope this works. I was concerned about moisture getting between the mirrow and cover and causing rust down the road but i believe the moisture will evaporate as i didn't seal the covers air tight.
