Are the Adhesive Pads on the CIPA Hot Spot Convex Towing Mirror Replaceable

Question:

Could you advise if you get the sticky pad on the back of the mirror , It seems that the sun works on it. Mine need to be replace , as they fall off sitting in the sun, on my motorhome. There is nothing wrong with the mirror just the attaching pad to hold it on.

I spoke with my contact at CIPA about the problem you are having with the Hot Spot Mirror, # 49403. She stated that what you can use is some double-sided 3M tape. This is basically the same thing used on the mirrors and may actually be a little stronger. Make sure that before putting the tape on the back of the hot spot mirror that you remove the old pad completely, clean it with rubbing alcohol, and allow it to dry. Do the same for the surface you want to attach the mirror to.
