Another vote for thorough cleaning first, then rear view mirror adhesive. I've successfully done both windows this way, AFTER converting to the later style with the bottom screw hole so I would only have to glue 2 on each side, not 3.

I'm going on 2 years for all bonds save for one latch. I've found that leaving the car in direct sunlight accelerated failure on the latches, which are in tension. Now, if I leave the car outside in the sun, I gently unlatch both sides.

A question to others here. Is it completely unreasonable to consider finding someone whole could make a run of windows with all 3 holes? I have no idea.
