Where I live this matters!
The heat won't loosen up the mirrors. My car has these and it seats outside all day with 105 degrees Fahrenheit Florida heat, about 40 degreees Celsius. Basically the whole car is hot to the touch.

Now, I'm not sure if the heat will transfer. But you can replace the regular 3m tape and use the 3m heat transfer tape or something similar:
