re-gluing a side mirror to its mount? 700 1991

The 'mirror' is 3 pieces assembled as one unit; the glass, a black plastic backing, and a white plastic lockring. Then there's the swivel head it all attaches to. I've had both the glass come loose from its backing, and had the lockring come loose. To reattach the glass to the backing I used Barge cement, lasted several years. But if it's the lockring that came loose, that is a PITA. What Chilton's didn't tell me is that, after you align the pins and then find the little 'gears' on the lockring that you rotate by prying through the slot in the bottom, and you fish around til you get it to turn like aleekat said, about 1/4 inch, then it has to turn just a bit more til there's a click and it locks into place. If there isn't that firm click it won't lock and the mirror will fall out.
