how to glue or put my rear view mirror back on?

what should I use? Super glue? Hot glue gun? Liquid cement?

My Jeep Cherokee's rearview mirror fell off, lovely stuff. The contact seem to be aluminum(or alloy, shiny silver metal of some sort) to glass. Whats the best compound to use to get that back on?

Yeah, I think I found it, at Kragen, on one of the back racks/shelves, with the Windshield repair kits.

Looks like this:
