They sell glue just for that purpose, superglue won't last more than a couple weeks. Keep in mind you don't glue the whole mirror on, the is a "clip" you glue on then slide the mirror into that. If you do the whole mirror you will have to sit there holding it up like an idiot.

It's very simple to do.

A couple bucks for the whole kit, usually includes a little scotch brite pad or something to clean off the old glue, an alcohol wipe to clean both surfaces and a couple of tubes of epoxy.

There are a couple of brands and styles of glue. The one I have the best luck with was from PepBoys. I keep an extra packet in my "parts bin" just in case.

Walmart even sells it in the automotive section. Less than $2.00.
