Well unfortunately I’m forced to have a rear view mirror by law in Ohio or else I would leave it off honestly. So it has to go up.Most auto glass companies around here will glue a rear-view mirror back on free of charge. I've never had any DIY solution hold up very long.
That said, if a glass company fix doesn't hold I wouldn't bother trying to do it again. After a certain point you just won't be able to keep them up and several failed attempts may end up damaging the glass.
Very important to use just one drop. After 4 failed attempts I strictly followed directions and has worked for 7 months now.Gorilla glue didn’t work. Fell off after barely turning up the bass. Going to try the rear view mirror adhesive that autozone sells. Maybe that will work.
Are you talking about gorilla glue? I just purchased a second kind of gorilla glue that @audiobaun posted above and will try that out if the rear view mirror kind from autozone doesn’t work. I also scheduled an appointment with Subaru but the earliest I can get in is Tuesday. I want something permanent so it never comes off again no matter how hard I bump lolVery important to use just one drop.

No, I mean the mirror kit by Permatex at Autozone. First two tries I did not completely scape off the old residue (feared scraping off black OEM patch). Third try I scraped the glass but not the button. Fourth I scraped and sanded both but deduced "more glue more gooder results". That lasted 2 days. Finally I scraped, sanded, activator, and ONE drop only (hardest part). Let it sit 2 days, then set the mirror.Are you talking about gorilla glue?

if you do what i did with my wall and set up a camera facing backwards wired up to a switched ignition and dedicate a small screen to it then its like you have a mirror but just digital. has not let me down yet!Earlier today my rear view mirror fell off. I was wondering what I could use to keep it from falling again. I used loctite super glue and it fell down a couple hours later. Any recommendations on what else I could do?
what if i turned on my back up camera permanently would that work? Use my headunit to show video. My mirror fell today and actually took a chunk of glass off my windshield... oopsif you do what i did with my wall and set up a camera facing backwards wired up to a switched ignition and dedicate a small screen to it then its like you have a mirror but just digital. has not let me down yet!
I haven't had a rear view in one of my cars for at least a decade now and never had any issues, it's been in the trunk since it fell off. I didn't look up the specific laws on it, and obviously if you know for sure and want to remain legal, then of course you'd need it installed, but just noting I have yet to have an issue.Well unfortunately I’m forced to have a rear view mirror by law in Ohio or else I would leave it off honestly.

I did mention earlier that you might damage the glass. This sort of thing is not uncommon.what if i turned on my back up camera permanently would that work? Use my headunit to show video. My mirror fell today and actually took a chunk of glass off my windshield... oops
