Windscreen fitters tried to superglue my cabbie mirror to the pattern 'screen that they fitted....it lasted less than a week,and the car did not move in that time.

They had to come back with the proper cabbie screen that has a mirror mount attached at the factory.

Glass / Metal glue from Halfords did the trick for mine. Just hold it in place for as long as possible, use tape if necessary.
