The 09 35, one corner of a hatch mirror did loosen up. Added a little more tape and it has been fine.

Be generous with the tape, I did perimeters about 1.5" from edge, then strips full width about 6" apart. High quality tape and proper prep are key. Think the hatches required about $50 worth of tape from auto body supply store, the stuff used to attach side moldings to car exteriors.

Metallic vinyl decals do give the appearance of etched mirror. Next time I will stack two colors, a light silver metallic outlined by dark grey to really get the effect.
