    Maybe some good quality double sided tape of some sort ?
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I've used the double sided tape - but heated it with a match each side before installing.

    You can buy the little sticky patches from most places - I bought mine from a Ford Stealer.

    you could try 3M VHB double sided tape,to improve the adhesion clean the area with ethyl acetate carefully this increases the adhesion quality of the tape,see your local signwriter and he may give you a piece of double sided tape

    I knocked mine off 12 months ago. Went to O'Briens glass, they stuck it back on for me with some black glue.

    It's rock solid.

    Cheers,

    Jack
