Buy the CORRECT mirror adhesive kit...not crazy glue. If you DO use crazy glue, like me, you'll be re-gluing your mirror every 5 days until you get your lazy *** to the hardware store

got mine at pepboys

and you really need to use the right glue!

if you don't.. the heat will get to it and it'll fall off again

don't forget to clean the window off really good first

I had the same problem, about every three months the thing would pop off from the heat here in Florida. I went to autozone, pep boys, discount auto parts,ect... and it still fell off after awhile, so I went to a local glass shop and for $10 I had it installed with a lifetime warrenty. it has been about a year and a half and not a problem. This is the only way to go .........

86 Trans Am stock (for now)

I've used a kit from the auto parts store twice, and I never had any problems. Just make sure you leave the anchor glued on the glass for the specified amount of time before you attach the mirror to it.
