After trying several Rearview Mirror Adhesive Kits unsuccessfully to affix a standard rearview mirror to the Lexan windshield in my ACRX, I contacted ZAP (Pacer Technology) and their tech folks suggested I try their ZAP PT-22 which is designed for Lexan. They weren't sure it would hold up under the vibration and otherwise rough ride in a racecar. I am happy to report that after three days at COTA and despite the major bumps between 10 & 11 and 11 &12, my mirror is still securely in place. (Just had to rough up a spot wear I wanted the "tombstone.)

Is there a reason why you wouldn't bolt it in? I don't know. Just asking.

Why wouldn't you get a racing mirror and bolt it to the roll bar?

Frank,
Did you replace the windshield or did the mirror just fall off??
