Side Mirror Adhesive
Quick question. I recently had the glass portion of my side mirror pop off. Luckily nothing broke because the two wires that hook to the heater bars stayed attached and I was able to catch it before anything really bad happened.
I need to glue/stick/adhere the glass back to the plastic backing of the side mirror. Any recommendations on what to use? I did a search on the forum and saw something about using a high temp, 100% silicone adhesive. Any thoughts on a name brand? Any tips on how to get this back on without 1) breaking the mirror and 2) getting it attached enough that it won't fall off the next time I drive down a the cobblestone streets in Richmond?
Thanks in advance!

You might want to just take it to a glass shop and have them put the glass back on - shouldn't cost much and they would have the right glue.

Because that mirror has some electrical circuits, you'd probably want to use Dow Corning's low VOC silicon adhesive that is safe for electronics. I no longer work where we used it, so I can't tell you the number, sorry.
