Our motorhome is new shape Movano(Pug Boxer) and I want to fit a rear view mirror as it doesn't have one (it was originally a van with a bulkhead prior to conversion).
The windscreen is just glass, there is no bracket inside the screen so I cannot raid the PSA parts bin and just fit a standard mirror from Ducato/Boxer/Relay.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fit a rear view mirror? I thought about a suction cup like for satnav but the heat/cold can affect them. I suppose that a glued-on bracket will suffer the same problem.
You can get special double-sided pads specifically for this purpose.
Edit - a very quick search found these...
Years ago on a kit car I tried one that had a mesh pad and some special glue to attach it to the windscreen.
It was crap.
I got a small suction cup one instead which was much better.
This was almost 30 years ago mind, so tech may have improved since then.

Halfords have both stick on and suction mirrors. Could be worth a look.
Don't forget STW and Cycling UK members get a Halfords discount 😉
Thanks all
I was clearly searching for the wrong thing
🤦
On 2nd thoughts I could get a reverse camera to attach to the mirror but it would need to handle the extra weight....

I just got a suction one from Halfords....it's fallen off a couple of times in 4 years, on v sunny days. It works fine...just make sure the screen isn't greasy

I used this type to hold on a pretty heavy mirror with electric gubbins in. The first one failed after 6 months. The second attempt was still going after 5 years.
I concluded I did something wrong the first time.
