How do I get it back on? Will super glue work?
Please dontt tell me to take it to a dealership, they'd probably charge me $70.00 in labor.

You can go to your local parts house and get the mirror glue. But what they don't explain is that you have a little metal tab on the back of the mirror that has to come off first. You clean the area that you are going to put the mirror and this tab is the only part that you will glue to the windshield. You put the glue on the tab and hold it there for a minute or two to make sure it is stuck. Then leave it there for 24 hours. Do not try to put the mirror back on the tab before that time or you will have to do the whole process over again. After 24 hours you can put the mirror back on and secure it to the tab and your done. Hope this helps. Good Luck. GET ER DONE

go to the auto part store, they have special cement to glue it back up there. Should be like 5 bucks or so. Comes with a cleaning swab and all that. It's in the section with all the mirrors and stuff, you'll see it.

You can get a glue called Rearview Mirror Adhesive from any parts store. I think it's $7.

It may not look pretty, but i've used that mail tape before, the kind that you use on moving boxes. It is only a temporary hold, and doesn't last forever, but it can hold until you can afford the labor. Or if you can take it into your dealership, maybe they can cut you a deal on a new one/labor costs. Good luck!

i'd go to a automotive supply store and ask for a car quality glue or adhesive. they'll have it. think Kragen or PepBoys.
super glue will hold, but it will not be as durable as you might think.

They sell adhesive at automotive stores to put mirrors back on. Just go in and tell them that it fell off and they will show you what you need to buy to put it back on.

when you get it back on, stop putting your makeup on in the car! then it will stay.
