how do you put it back on

need some very strong adhesive!

be careful too as most end up cracking the windscreen

i've got to remove mine to fit an auto dimming mirror but going to get a local windscreen place to do it

why you removing it?  :huh:

DON'T pull it off the unless you want to buy a new windscreen.The correct way to remove it is to grap hold of the base and twist it anticlockwise,then to refit twist it clockwise.

DO NOT PULL IT OFF........
