The Windshield & Rearview Mirror Saga

My son through a baseball in the car knocking the rearview
mirror off the windshield.

Now get this... The adhesive between the baseplate and the
windshield did not fail; the glass did.

To be accurate, 2/3 of the adhesive between the baseplate
and the windshield did fail, but 1/3 did not resulting in a
dime-size piece of windshield still attached to the baseplate.

I assume the best adhesive to re-attach the baseplate-to-
windshield surface is still rearview mirror adhesive, but what
is the best adhesive to re-attach the glass-to-glass surface?

Thanks!

They sell special mirror glue @ auto parts stores

Don't use anything else, it wont hold

Remove base plate from mirror, glue back on, put ducttape on it to hold in
place , remove tape after at least 24 hours and re-install mirror
