Default Attaching A Rearview Mirror

Driving along one day and the passenger's side rear view mirror (just the breakable glass part, not the housing) just dropped off exploding into tiny bits. The truck is a 93 so I guess this is normal, the glue just let go apparently.

I ordered a NAPA replacement off eBay and much to my shock and amazement, it actually fits.

There is two sided sticky tape included but there are only three attachment points (about the size of a postage stamp) on the housing so...I'm wondering what's the best thing to use. Of course there are all kinds of glue, Gorilla snot, Super Jiz and of course the magical JB Weld line of products.

I'd like something that hopefully will hold a while as it's getting embarrasing cutting off Smart Cars, Neons and the like when I come back right from the hammer lane. They fill the blind spot nicely and so far I've been lucky, each one has had good brakes.

Ideas? ("Stop Driving" is not an acceptable response thank you)

PS The instructions I happened to read say you can run a bead of clear silicone around the edge of the mirror but if you know me, you know that's probably not a good idea..if appearance counts for anything at least.
