Driver Mirror fell off !

What would be the best adhesive to re-install my mirror,..I have the heated mirror option if that even matters I was going to use Super glue but thought, maybe there is something better...Thank's ! Frank

A thin film of silicone sealant would hold up better to temperature differences. IMO

I'd ask a dealer what they use.....and possibly a good body shop. See if they have a product they've had success with since they might have had to repair others in the past. In my area there are a few places that sell to body shops "professional" supplies, that could be another source for you. (materials not sold in big box hardware stores that is)

Porsche body shop recommends a 3M epoxy that is a hot and cold bonder,..they also stated a 3M panel bond.But, they said your mirror will never ever come off..so if you get' a crack in it,you will be buying the assembly ,..! Thank's Guy's , 3M bonder is what I will be looking for ! Frank
