Rear view mirror on front windscreen keeps falling off - hangs and swings - dangerous

There are 3 common ways to fix a windscreen mirror. Glue, 'grub' screw or clip. Check to see if yours has a tiny screw on the mirror that needs winding out. If no screw it is possibly a spring clip mount.
BE CAREFUL, If you are too rough you will shatter the windscreen and they are NOT cheap.
Hold the mirror arm flat against the glass above the windscreen mount. It should slide over the glass mount. The clip is a strong spring so it will be a tight fit. Try using a strap and pull down flat against the windscreen. it might resist then suddenly snap into place so Be Careful.

I assume that you want to see while driving, I use a suction cup backed mirror stuck to the windscreen to one side of the rear view mirror. If your child is in a rearwards facing seat you would need two mirrors one at the front and one towards the rear of the car. Hope this helps.

There should be a small allen screw on the "windscreen" clip. Back it out, attach mirror and then tighten it back up.

Good Luck

the one on in the middle of the windscreen or the one on the outside on the front doors.

if you are talking the rear view mirror on the windscreen then use Loctite 406 or 401 super glue to refit it. care with the glue as it will stick skin together real quick. have a bottle of nail polish remover or acetone on hand in case of accident.

The parts store has a small kit to reattach mirrors. It needs a special glue. Go to the parts store and ask for a rear view mirror glue on kit.

Hi you can buy little double sided pads to do this but make sure the cab is warm when you fit it.

Alternatively superglue but you will need to hold it in position and tape it up to dry, Pads are the better option. let me know if you need a stockist and I will post you the link.

there should be a very small screw you have to loosen to put the mirror back in place and then tighten it back up again. i think it takes a very small allen wrench
