    My rearview mirror came off. My Elantra has an extra heavy one piece
    rearview mirror. I will need some stronger glue than what I have been
    trying. That two stage rearview mirror glue is a joke.

    Any suggestions, please?

    I don't want to insult your glueing ability but did you scrape all of
    the old hard glue off of the tab and then clean it and the surrounding
    windshield area with the cleaner provided? My van has a large heavy
    mirror which includes electronics for auto dimming and it has stayed on
    with the regular one step RVM adhesive products. Other then the above
    steps, I do not know of anything else better.

    The Elantra mirror doesn't have a tab. It's a one piece assembly, AFAIK.
    Yes, I cleaned the window and the metal plate of the mirror assembly.

    I will look for RVM adhesive products, though. Thank you.

    3.00 tube at your local hardware store. This is what I did. The mirror never
    felll off again. I sold the car after 5 years. Silicone makes a perfect bond
    between glass and metal.
