Instead of paying for a freaking new windshield to fix my mirror issue I have got the mirror and the connector that goes around the rain sensor apart. I need to re glue the metal ring (that goes around the sensor to the windshield then slide the mirror base on it. What is the best glue/epoxy to use to get the best adhesion to the window??

 

what is the best product to use?

 

3M and Permatex both make an adhesive specifically for this purpose: 3M/Rear view mirror adhesive (08752) | Mirror Adhesive | AutoZone.com

Permatex/Rear view mirror adhesive (81844) | Mirror Adhesive | AutoZone.com

 

I guess best result is to do this when the it is warm out, 70 or so. I guess I could turn the car on, garage open, and heat the cabin of the car for the best temp.

 

I had the same problem with a mirror on my Corvette. I tried every one of the adhesive on the market for mirrors. I finally went to my local Safelite Shop and they put it on for free, still on after 3 years.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I have the same issue. brgjag, were you able to successfully re-attach the mirror?

 

Gorilla Glue! Made in the USA.

 

The permatex "kit" sold at most autoparts stores works good enough for most applications.

Any glue on glass can be torn off with enough leverage.
