Is my windscreen the least stickyest thing known to man? I renewed my tax in December and have had problems ever since! My original holder refused to re-stick, no probs i thought, I'll get one of those fancy ally ones. I polished the screen then left the car running with the heater on full blast and after five mins or so stuck on the new holder. No worries for a week or so but that was my lot, every morning I'd get in the car and my tax would be sat on the floor! I took my car into the work shop at work, degreased the screen and the holder, left the heater on again, applied a large amount of 3M refix tape to holder and used heat gun to warm through. This worked fine, for a week or so. Now we get to the amazing part! In my frustration I used some black gaff tape! This was fine, for a week or so! I can't believe it, I've never seen gaff tape beaten by anything! It's currently held on by half a roll of gaff tape, this will hopefully last till monday, I work in a main dealer, hopefully we should have some ordinary holders kicking about!

I vote for the SIDC one as well........ Extra sticky.

What do you put in the pocket above where the disc goes?? It is the right size for the membership card, but don't want to leave that in the car.

- Actually special adhesive designed specifically for the Impreza windscreen - May not work so well on Fiesta!

If you used a glass polish to clean you window i'm not surprised you need to use something that will remove all the silicone type stuff they put in polishes such as a vinegar and water mixture, it should then stick again!!

The gaff tape seems to be holding for now, I'm seriously considering nut and bolting it though!
