My drivers side mirror has been shaky for a while, after a closer look I found that the mirror glass is just loose. I pulled the glass piece off, and it looks like the coating on the glass let loose from the glass. The actual adhesive on the mirror (on the car) is still present below a coating layer of sorts. How do I best fix this? The white stuff in the photo is adhesive that didn't take material from the mirror with it, the gray is the material that was SUPPOSED to be part of the mirror itself.

Guessing I'll need to clean the old tape/glue stuff off and re-apply, but what should I use?

How about 3M double-sided tape?

Its a pain if you can afford it just get the mirror glass from honda. It comes with the plastic and you just angle it up and yank the old one out. Ive been through 4 sets :( I would put the whole thing in hot water and seperated it. But it kinda warps the plastic after you do it often so I just bought the new one.
