Fixing mirror glass, best adhesive?

I need to fix a new mirror glass on a Nissan Micra. It has had a replacement glass in before but the double sided sticky pads failed and the glass came off.

I have bought a new glass and would like to know which is the best adhesive to fix it back with please.

    Any glue makes it harder to fix if you have to replace it again, as you'll have to clean the old glue off to get a level surface.
    You could try using twice as many sticky pads as last time?

    I used No More Nails on mine (Fiat Punto) and that's worked great. I did put a few elastic bands around the mirror and casing to hold it in for first few days afterwards (my dad's suggestion).
