Rear View Mirror

Okay I can't get my rear view mirror to stick. I have tried 3 different glues. The one that came with the mirror, and two other kinds I bought at the auto store. I always clean the glass very well, sand the metal button, and follow the directions. And every time the mirror falls off. I'm fuckin pissed. I'm beginning to think its the PPG glass. And my truck came with a headliner mirror from the factory so there wasn't one to use. Anyone have any tips?

dude, you are in cali. it is to hot for rearview mirrors. haha, the sun always melts the glue off. j/k. yeah, let the plate sit on the glass for like 24-48 hrs before installing the mirror. if it still falls off, then i dunno. i do the same thing, sand the metal plate and clean the glass real good.

dunno.

The instructions say to sand the metal part, to give it grit and help it stick. And I always let it sit for 2-3 days before doing it. This last time I let it sit in the garage for 48 hours, and I put the mirror on. As soon as I tried to adjust the mirror it pulled off.

Marcus I need something that will break the windshield if I pull it off.
