If you don't plan on adjusting your mirrors then Fred has the simplest solution. Just glue them in place.
Crazy glue may not work well since the surfaces are non-porous. Ideally, a 2 part epoxy would be best. I would try E6000 adhesive. You can find your adhesive of choice at any home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes).

It's not really permanent. Super glue and the like will usually hold until someone bumps or moves the mirror then you have to do it again. Yes, an epoxy would make it more permanent.

I wouldn't 'glue' them. But you might try using silicone seal. it stays pliable so you can still move the mirror. That is what I used to 'lock' bolts/nuts on my dirt bikes.
That might not work at HIGH speeds, but you could try it.
