Default How to stick backview mirror inside a Daewoo car?Have tried all brands of glues

with garages' suggestions. Never thought that fixing a Mirror on the Windscreen will be so difficult. The mirror just does not stick inspite of all cleaning procedures. The maximum the mirror has stayed stuck is 3 months. There must be some better ways to fix the mirror. All kinds of glues available in the garages were used with varying results. There is no glue strong enough to hold the mirror in place for more than 3 months.
Have tried the vaccum mirrors but they don't provide the visual fields at all and nothing is visible because the adjustment is very limited.
I will greatly appreciate advice in fixing the mirror permanently.
In the past, it happened to a different car and the fixing of mirror was permanent and it never came off.
The current problem seems to be a specific problem with a Daewoo car.
Awaiting any suggestions.

what you need to do is go to your local car accessories shop, they sell small square double sided sticky pads but before you try and stick the mirror back on usea a solvent i.e. petrol or thinners to clean both the mirror and the glass where you are sticking the mirror to, the old glue left there breaks down the strength of the glue on the pads. then sinply stick the mirror in place

Go to Wal-Mart Automotive section and ask for Rear View Mirror Glue. It is a tiny package and if you follow the instructions to the letter you will not be able to pull the mirror off if you had to. I used it on my mirror and it is still on there after three years. Good thing is the price is less than $3.00 for the glue.

When I had a similar problem, I went to my local auto glass shop and asked them for the sticky pads that they use to reattch mirrors when they replace windshield glass.

Mine hasnt fallen off since.
