I havent had my rear view on for months and havent missed it honestly. But some windshield/rear view mirror glue should work...pretty sure they sell it exclusively for rear view mirrors attaching to glass

i have bought it 2 times and it don't even hold as much as the super glue

Your bass is too loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Try gorilla glue, i think it's a good bit stronger than super glue

I think you'll be wanting something that isnt very brittle once cured...I think the gorilla super glue says its more shock-resistant so it may be something to try

I had that problem in my Jimmy. The mirror wouldn't tighten all the way onto the button. If the mirror is loose on the button and won't tighten, buy a new mirror. It will only keep falling off. The mirror will vibrate a lot more if it's loose on the button, causing the adhesive on the button to fail much sooner than it should. I haven't had any trouble since I got my new mirror.

just leave it off. once it falls the first time its a pain in the ass to try and get it to stay.

I've used it but not in that particular situation, luckily my RV mirror is still intact (knock on wood). But I've used it to bond other things and it works really well, not too sure if it will work in your situation, with glass to plastic, but it's deff worth a try. I can promise u it will work better than super glue. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
