As above i just buy the proper self adheesive pad, in this weather it will stick no problem if its cold then normally warm the screen with a hair dryer first to help it stick

depends what car its for..if its not a sticky pad job you are better getting it done off a windscreen place.we have proper stuff that is meant for glass to metal. it doesnt contract/expand so wont crack the screen..only charge a fiver or summat..better than trying other stuff and finding out its crap..

What happened? It fell towards you and you got a glimpse at your reflection.
