You buy rearview mirror adhesive from a auto store. 02/02/2009: I recently had a hack job done by a reputable company (new employee who no longer works there) when my windshield was replaced on my 2000 Acura TL. Now I know that you don't yank the thing off the windshield or cut the 3 power wires that makes it a power rear view mirror. There is a clip that is located in the headliner that should be unplugged and then re-plugged for a nice neat look. The windshield that was ordered for my car had a roundish metal piece embedded in the glass for where the mirror should be replaced.
You probally wont have to replace the whole mirror assembly but just the glass mirror part itself
