Third brake light mount on 993

[pocketscience]

I heard a funny new rattle when I took my 993 around the block - when I got home I realised the third brake light mounting plate has come away from the rear window on the left side - and the right side looks a bit sketchy as well. Has anyone tried to re-attach these? What did you use? My first thought was the 3M tape used for rearview mirror mounts.. but not sure how that goes outside..?

I had no idea just how many different double-sided tape products 3M has! I've ordered a couple of types to see how they go. Much cheaper than new mounts which are $60 each from Porsche and need to come from Germany..

Bunnings has some specific for house numbers for letterboxes/brick, therefore suitable for outside. I ended up using it for my bonnet badge for my daily and it sure is not going anywhere!

Yeah, I looked at Bunnings, but ended up with some of the more professional-use options that indicate glass as a suitable substrate. Fingers crossed!
