Factory E30 'vert mirrors glue to a round button at the very top of the glass

That button looks like the one most domestic car mirrors attach to.

Thanks... until you pointed that out I hadn't noticed that. Your 100% right its not stock, kinda weird...

cabbies don't have the same mirror location as hard tops?

Nope...

Your mirror is not stock. Maybe whomever retrofitted it did something to cause that?

if you were in SC, you could get your glass replaced for free!

You mean on the ceiling?

You can glue it back on and probably be fine. Though, your windshield is much weaker in that spot now. They are designed to absorb the impact of a small object and prevent it from penetrating through the glass and impaling someone.

Then again, I highly doubt that you'll have a spear or flying jackhorse or anything coming through the window. Replace it if it cracks or breaks.

Yea, thats what I'll do (glue it) tomorrow. I looked around online and Loctite has a glass super glue. Just never seen it happen. Quality glass.

Just glue it back on. If the windshield ends up cracking then replace it...

My guess is you will need a new windshield now.
