Trying to finish some things up on my car, and for some reason my rear view mirror looks like it was ripped off, so their is a big chunk of glass missing. So in order to mount the mirror to the window, i need some sort of idea how to fill the glass in. Is there some sort of glass epoxy that i can use, or anything else that i could fill it in with then sand flat. The color doesnt matter since its black and hidden by the mount anyways.

Thanks guys

That really has nothing at all to do with this topic or the problem he has.

I would try what DTN was telling you to try in the shout box. Using some sort of injector to get an epoxy of some sort into the hole.

do you still have the rear view mirror with (hopefully) the chunk of glass that was ripped still on it?

depends on the size of the chunk missing really. you want pretty much the entire area of that button to be bonded directly on the window.

That's just a fisheye, looks like a small clamshell shaped piece of glass missing?

In that case, I would glue the mirror right over it, as-is.
