Vette-in-the-Veins

Vehicle: 1975 convertible.

I am looking for recommendations as to the best adhesive to reattach the inside rear view mirror's vinyl surround to the metal housing.

While putting in new glass about 6 months ago, I removed the vinyl surround to glean up the metal housing with fresh paint and even applying a new label. I used the following glue but it is not holding.



I also found the following threads with no other suggestions than silicone adhesive.

Surely there's something better and as effective as what was used during it's manufacture.

Not looking to replace the entire unit as I have the one with the map light,


Thank you for any direction.

LOCTITE has a super glue by the name STIK'N SEAL. Two tone blue tube. No guarantee, but it's never let me down in situations where gluing is difficult and under a great deal of pull and strain.

Update for possible future assistance to anyone.

13 months later and this is the adhesive I finally found and used with excellent results.

Still holding since late September 2016. So, 1 year plus.

This has an odor similar to the old Testers model cement. Smells gooooood to a child from the 60's!
