What a paean to the GTV6!

On that topic: one petty annoyance on my 84 vintage is that the little 
adhesive square that affixes the heavy rear view mirror to the windshield 
(parabrezza) has a very limited lifespan, which is further shortened if the 
car is parked for any time in the sun.  Then, either I have to pull it off 
when it's hanging by a thread, or risk it falling off and either breaking or 
breaking my hand if it should be in the way.  I keep a supply of adhesive 
factory squares in the glove compartment, and have tried other solutions, but 
nothing seems to last more than a year or so at most.  The 84 is one of the 
years which has the radio antenna applied in conductive paint to the inside 
of the windshield, and of course the mirror mounts right over the antenna.  
Anyone found a better solution?  Typical r.v. mirror adhesives are clearly 
made for mounting vastly lighter mirrors, like the little cheapo ones on 
Fords.
