To add to this already screwed up thread, 3M 'Dual Mounts' much, much better for strength (not talking about adhesive, but the mount itself).

And Jeff, likely you are correct but I have acquired some variety of the convex mirrors, and will try it myself. Hell, I can't screw the visibility any worse than it is.
The 3M stuff is called Dual Lock...

If you've used Velcro tape before, you get the idea-except that this stuff isn't Velcro. With 705 pins per square inch, it gives you four times the tensile strength of hook-and-loop fasteners, which means it will support more weight and do a better job at keeping things from moving around.
I'd never heard or seen it before. Jeff's problem was that the adhesive on the velcro strip came off the aluminium, not that the velcro same undone from itself.
