I accidently knocked my rear view mirror off today and it went flying. (don't ask)

My question is how the hell do I put it back, it seems to be magnetic but does not hold securely? Is there something I am missing?

Thanks

There should be a metal disc in the windscreen that it attaches to. IIRC you have to twist it on.

Cab windscreens are specific to that variant.

If the metal disc has fallen off as well...Mine was off as the front screen was replaced. If so then buy this...

It sticks on perfectly and hasn't fallen off yet!! You can buy this cheaper elsewhere though.
