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!

I had that happen to me. I used the rearview window repair kit you
get at autozone or whatever and it worked fine. The broken glass fit
in the hole, the glue sealed it up and you could barely tell where it
was broken.

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?
