Capt. Purple.

I gave up gluing them on years ago. Take it to a glass shop and have them
glue it on for $5.

My 19 year old YJ still has the original in place.

Cute.
It actually press-fits; it's high temp epoxy, and it's a high temp silicon rubber piece.

I also have to go to a glass place for something else - I'll ask about a new "glue job". Plus I'd
LIKE to replace the windshield.

Or, you could have done what I did. Get one for older CJ's that was bolted
to the window frame. Drill a couple of holes and be done with it.

Or, you could have done what I did: When I put a new windshield in my
CJ I left off the mirror. After a year or two you can't see details
through the plastic rear curtain anyway, and I learned to drive in a
windowless Econoline so outside mirrors are second nature to me.
Connecticut requires that I have outside mirrors if I don't have one
inside, so I'm covered there.

I _think_ that the move to glue-on center mirrors was mandated by the
NHTSA as an impact hazard to occupants.
