I don't know if you can get to the part of
the internet that we call "Google" from whatever
rock you live under, but it can answer really
simple questions like that fairly quickly, so you
look less stupid than you otherwise might.

Avoid using or patronizing Google whenever possible. They are extremely
prejudice and anti-neegroes for starters.

Try a better search engine such as http://www.dogpile.com

Boycott Google, save the world's freedom.

Please ignore Steve Firth. He's what you people over there refer to
as an "asshole". It's usually prompted by envy.

Gotcha!

Please ignore Hooch, he's usually getting shafted up the Gary by his
White Aryan Brotherhood chums and the constant poking has dislodged his
brain and given him an arsehole fixation.

Just what came off and what remains on which piece?

There are multiple ways of affixing the things, but in the one I
usually see, a keystone shaped metal or plastic thing, a bit bigger
than your thumbnail and roughly the same shape, is glued to the
windshield (directly or with an adhesive pad). The stem of the mirror
has a part that fits over the keystone. So you put up the keystone
by itself, wait a specified interval for the glue to dry, and slide
the mirror over the keystone thing and fasten it down with a
setscrew.

If you just try fastening the whole schmear up there, it'll probably
fall off -- it takes a while for the cement to set well enough to bear
the weight of the mirror. So if my bet is right and the keystone is
still in the mirror assembly, take it out and put it up alone, then
hang the mirror.

There are doubtless "crazy glues" that will do the job, but you're
probably best advised to get rearview mirror cement at the auto parts
store. They usually have at least one kind in stock because that's
an intentional weak point, sort of like a mechanical fuse -- when
subjected to one of life's small violent indignities, like the one
inflicted by Junior, it comes apart (well, most of the time anyway)
right there, without breaking either the windshield or the mirror.

The other important thing is to make sure the windshield surface is
excruciatingly clean -- usually an alcohol wipe or two comes with the
adhesive kit.

The breakaway fitting is one-way, you can't just push it back on.
Some disassembly is required.

Unless you're talking about a glue-on, in which case you need more
glue.

Too scared to reply to my post directly, grocerboi? Now why would I
have "chums" such as the White Aryan Brotherhood? They're a bunch of
****ing liberals!
