I am curious to see if anyone else this small problem. After doing a complete swap, do you notice the driver side mirror vibrate a little more than usual?

If the mirror is convex putting an extra piece of tape in middle is probably worthless if you don't double up on it! Seeing how middle of the mirror is going to be an additional 2 or 3mm from the mounting surface.

These mirrors are not just blue colored, they are anti-glare. I drive an hour a day at dusk/morning and have plenty of trucks and people with misaligned headlights behind me and the glare was crazy until I installed these. I have to say these mirrors have been the best/favorite investment on my tC.

well, used 3m tape on mine... next day was driving to work and notice my passenger side mirror wasnt set the same when i left the home...

well quickly pulled over and pulled the mirrror off with ease.. thing was about to go any second..
when i got to work i pulled my driver side which was at ease too with a tad effort more..

went to autozone and got some epoxy..*** this double sided tape bullsh!t.. the kind i had was 3m and could hold up to 2 pounds too.

you guys be careful with the 3m double sided crap.

I would use the adhesive that came with the mirrors... my guess is they know what they are doing since they have been selling these for quite some time now.

Mine hasn't even moved 1mm since I put them on. And I drive on terribly cracked concrete roads every day. So you did something wrong.

I didn't even use the extra tape that came with it and it hasn't moved. Good thing you got it before they fell off though.

They are only coming lose if you used 3m tape instead of what came with it. what is a good brand to use? I have NO luck with any so far exept what came on the mirrors.

been a few weeks and still loveing the mirrors and the broadway. What are the chances that A.P.R. will put them into production? it seems like enough people would buy them.
