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.
