Windscreen attachments

[neil]

I have tried several glues including Gorilla glue and nothing seems to hold the plastic attachments to the windscreen. Any suggestions?

What "plastic attachments" are you requesting advice about?

Try a little bit of mineral oil as opposed to water to stick the plastic attachments to the windshield. Water evaporates the mineral oil should last a long time

Try E-6000 glue. A picture of the tube of glue is in my photo album, can be purchased at most hardware stores. Bob

I'm unclear on the question. Is this asking about how to reattach the snads (snap plates for he canvas snaps)?

If so, I'm interested. Our corner ones come loose after a few months or so. I replace them with new ones from Sailrite but am tired of the frequency. E-6000 sounds like something to try (thanks, Bob!)

If you are attaching SNADS to the glass I find that application of the 3M Silane Glass treatment to the glass results in an attachment that is much stronger than not taking this recommended step.
I have not had one fail that was applied after priming with the Silane Glass treatment.
It can be purchased from Sailrite and the bottle will permit the attachment of more SNADs than you would ever need.

Good reminder -- I do have some Silane treatment (acquired from Sailrite with the snads) but had forgotten about it. Thanks!
