I've tried using sticky pads designed for the job before, but firstly, they are really, really hard to line up (you only get one chance) and they fall off in 6 months. Mirror Weld actually seemed to work, through hot and cold, as well as it being possible to slightly move the mirror to align it. Piece of advice - line the mirror up first, and get someone to draw an outline with a thin black marker on the outside of the window. Then when it comes to putting it on with glue, you get it right first time. This stuff works well.

Wouldn't you also need to put accelerator on the surface of the bracket before you put the adhesive on it? Hmm..
