Noticed that you've mentioned scraping and alcohol cleaning surfaces but not sanding. Permatex rear view glue kits I've used come with sand paper to rough up glass and metal surfaces which increases surface area and adhesion. As a suggestion I'd also apply some pressure for several hours to the metal tab while glue is setting using a stick of wood cut to length or a screw type shower curtain propped up from the back seat perhaps. Best of luck with this repair.
We've had good success with 3M High Bond Rear View Mirror Adhesive ;

Each time I've done this I've applied pressure, used tape across the bracket to keep pressure on for 24 hours. However, I never thought of trying that using a dowel etc. Also a good suggestion. I'll definitely try that next time.
Currently it's been in the 20's here the past week so I haven't tried reattaching it yet.
