How can you tell if you windshield is laminated?  I had an Omni that lost it's
mirror.  I was in a hurry, read lazy, and just used superglue.  It never 
caused my windshield to crack, but it would only last for a short time, 
about a week.  I would hit a bump and it would fall off.  I would then 
repeat the process.  I did this for quite some time before I went out and 
bought the windshield mirror specific glue.
