| permatex rear view mirror adhesive kits. Two bucks at your local parts

| glue or oil residue on either the glass or the button. Mark the location
| of the button on the OUTside of the windsheild... Use a product like
| Goof Off or Goo Gone - to remove the old glue, then use glass cleaner to
| remove the residue from that, and finally - isopropanol alcohol for a
| totally clean surface. Apply activator to the glass - let it sit for 5
| mins - apply 1 or 2 drops of glue to the button - hold button in place
| for 2 mins or so - - wait about an hour for the glue to cure before
| putting the mirror back on

Thanks Tom. Came back from the holiday weekend and the rearview on the
Acclaim was sitting in the driver's footwell.
