I used Permatex 2 times and each time it fell off. Stupid body shop closed the holes for original mount location and I didn't want to drill new

If memory serves me I think 100% clear silicone came with the replacement mirrors back in the day.

Go to your local auto glass shop and ask them to glue it for you. They did mine for free while they were ogling over my truck.

Re: Windshield mounted Rear view mirror glue?
The Permatex mirror adhesive is good to use. What I do is take the button and flip it upside down and sand it with 180-220 on a flat surface. I sand it till it is completely uniformly flat.
When the car is done for the night,clean the area as described in the instructions. Then, I glue JUST THE TAB to the windshield, then leave it to cure overnight. In the morning , put the rest of the mirror on, and tighten it down. Good to go! |

This. The two-part adhesive glass shops use doesn't fail. I've never used a parts-store glue that was permanent.
