As above what's the best thing to stick rear view mirror to windscreen as the one in my tintop has just fallen off? Tried supa glue but didn't work.

As Tegwin says you use a double sided adhesive pad (Usually called a mirror patch). I work for a glass company at that is what we use to bond any additions to glass before we ship to the car plants. Just make sure both the mirror and screen are clean, heat the pad on the mirror mounting with a hair drier, put the sticky pad on that, heat the screen with the hair dryer and then put the mirror in place applying pressure. Hold it in place for about a minute or so. Full strength is reached in 72 hours but as long as you do not swing on it then it is ok almost immeadiatley.
