Mirror Assembling by tesa Automotive
The success of tesa® Automotive Mirror Assembling goes
back to the late 1970’s when tesa Automotive was the first
to replace the traditional clipping attachment method with
double-sided tapes. Exterior and interior mirrors are essential components of a vehicle to ensure safe driving. Today,
heated exterior mirrors have become more and more
popular to increase convenience and allow for immediate
clear vision. For heated and non-heated exterior mirrors,
as well as interior mirrors, tesa Automotive offers a comprehensive assortment for the individual applications required,
such as heating element mounting, mirror glass mounting,
splintering protection and surface protection.

tesa® Automotive Mirror Assembling
The tesa® Automotive double-sided tapes are ideally suited for the different steps of mirror
assembling. When assembling a non-heated mirror, the mirror glass can be directly mounted
onto the base plate with a tesa® Automotive double-sided tape. In case of heated mirrors,
the heating element is securely mounted to the mirror glass on one side and to the base
plate on the other.
