Two of my Panteras had the Omni mirrors attached with what appeared to be a thin layer of J-B weld or something similar. They never failed and I was able to VERY carefully remove them for a restoration. The glass was not scratched.  I’d go with some like type of adhesive and a careful cleaning/degreasing first.
