LOL! sorry I laughed so hard when I read that!
Not too sure on the solution, are there any backscrew/clips attached? I'm pretty sure last time I checked there was a screw on the back of the bit attached to the windscreen..
If you can fit a drill to try n unscrew it out if its a bit stuck, might be a bit easier to unscrew it, then remount it unless the bit thats come off snapped :(

Unscrew the screw a little only- enough so there's a small gap.
Then slide it on the metal piece on your windscreen and it should slide between that gap.
If it still feels loose then you've backed off the screw too much.
Trial n error but you will know when it clips in correctly- makes a click sound, and its mounted quite firm.
