Default Side Mirror? Glue?

My side mirror fell off. i dont know how. Its just the glass part not the whole thing. It looks like the inside to wear it suppose to be clipped into the case in broken. I plan on putting glue on it to secure it. Does anyone know a real strong glue i can use for it? THanks

Use 5 minute epoxy, or JB weld. Can be bought at any Home Depot.

I would just try to get some heavy duty (weather proof) epoxy like timgs300 mentioned, just make sure you don't accidentally fold the mirror or go through a automated car wash.
