I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for getting this stuck bsck on the windscreen as the arm which it is arched to is heavier than the mirror and I have tried 3 ways to do it and each time it has not stuck.
Not sure if window repair place will do it but it may cost a lot.
I have rim blinds I think they are called so it has to be placed just right. Any help appreciated. Thank you

Is there a part still adhered to the glass? If so hopefully it’s the keep plate and it may be just a case of re-engaging the arm on to it by offering at 90 degrees then if you manage to connect turn it to lock in place.
 
3M used to do a double sided tape for sticking stuff to windscreens, you had to make sure screen was properly clean before use but it worked very well.

I 'stick' my Sat-Nav in the place a rear view mirror would be if it was still a van using just the suction cup arrangement that came with it. That works pretty well also but if I do knock it off a good clean has it fixed again.

Is that two possibilities to look at? Good luck
 
I have fitted many mirrors back on the screen , the correct method is to use a sticky pad available from the main dealer or windscreen company thoroughly clean and degrees the screen , the green side of the new pad fits to the screen ,these are specifically made for the job .

Thats the things I meant Baz, ones I used were made by 3M. Its what a windscreen fitter suggested to me years ago :)

I have the same problem where the plastic clip is still stuck firm to the glass but the rail holding bits have weakened and the mirror which holds the revering camera falls off . What I do is use gorilla super glue on the plate and slide it back in place . This fix lasts about 18 months then I have to re do it . It’s not the answer but it works well enough
