Most auto shops carry a special glue for glueing rear view mirrors back on that works 100% and comes in a small tube. It dries quick - use Sikaflex and it takes days to dry from my experience.

I'd go with hako's advice. "Loctite" make a special advesive specifically for this purpose and it STICKS! I'd steer away from the sikaflex. As above, will take longer to cure and i've never found it to stick to smooth glass the best.

Not sure tek screws will work for some reason haha. i went onto google and someone said blu tack? and he reckoned it worked which i highly doubt. i might look for the loctite stuff or anything like that. ive never seen it before i tried the double sided auto tape but that lasted about 5 mins

Places that sell windscreens probably have something you can buy that will do the job,or they might even stick it back for you for a couple of bucks.

loctite is the go, there are a couple different types, i use 480 on my subs, its rubber based.

There is a glass/plastic one, not sure of the number

The 480 should work tho, stuck many of things down to never come off
