I never could get the mirror to stick on as good as the factory installed mirror. They always fell off after 6 months or so.
Make sure you clean the windshield good (in the mirror spot) with alcohol before you try putting the new one on.

Check, did that but still no luck. I scrapped the glass with a blade, cleaned with alcohol, Dremel tooled the metal piece spotless and ruffed it up with a wire brush just like the directions said. It always fell off.

One tip for holding the metal piece in place...use a strong magnet and tape it on the outside of the glass, get it aligned where you want and then you can put the adhesive on and the magnet holds it in place. I used a magnet from an old hard drive....worked sweet.

The problem is that everytime my girlie get in she readjusts the mirror. (I'm 6'4" she's 5'10")
