    Finally, the video I've been waiting for; by one of the most trusted people on RUclips. My rear view mirror fell off so many times I just gave up and only glue it on before car inspections are due. Wish me luck!

    I have worked in a glass shop for 40 years. The Loctite 312 is all we ever used, works pretty good if you follow the instructions including holding pressure on the button for 1 minute while it sets. I'm sure the uv stuff is good too.

      I've repaired a few with the cheap kits, but like most people it's a 50% or less success rate. There's a reason it generally only gets a 2-3 star review rating. The button in my 78 Ford Truck was done 10 years ago and it's still holding. It took 3 kits and it finally took. Nothing was done different any of the times. The Loctite 312 and KlingOn is what the pro shops use and works every-time. I've never had one fail with those.
