I have a '98 V90 and a couple of nights ago, I was driving on the freeway and the glass just fell out of my driver's side mirror. The smooth rubber-feeling backing left behind in the mirror housing is still there.

I did some searching on the 'net and have located several sources that will sell me the mirror. But I was wondering what would be the best adhesive to use to re-attach it, so I don't get a repeat of this event again? And also whatever adhesive I use, I don't want it to degrade the underside of the mirror surface, such that the mirror may become less silvered some time down the road.

I was thinking maybe just regular old contact cement. It sticks to just about anything and remains flexible pretty much forever. Or maybe a silicone product? Cyanoacrylate? Gorilla Glue?
