What metal? My entire mirror is plastic. There's no metal on it.
I tried rear view mirror adhesive. Didn't work at all. I think that's
because I was gluing to the little black spot on the windshield where
the mirror goes, instead of to the glass. The rear view adhesive said
it was made for gluing to glass.
I am now wondering if I have a different windshield and/or rear view
mirror than stock, with this talk about metal mounts, and putting
metal on glass... My glass has an integrated black spot for the
mirror, and my mirror has a plastic base, with no mount.
