Hey 4ndy I tried this Loctite and it didn't work.

How do I disconnect the mirror from the rain sensor, maybe I can try glue that first so it bonds. as the mirrors heavy weight makes it difficult to make it stick to windscreen when trying to glue it

Success! :drinking:
worked and was still up in the morning while sitting in the 35 degree weather so I'm thinking it'll last
Thanks to everyone who helped!
