starryeyed

I was cleaning/detailing my sc430, like I always do, but this time when I was wiping down the rear view mirror I must have twisted it because it came off the glass. All that was on the glass was a round metal ring, otherwise the mirror was just dangling by the electronic wires.
It looks easy enough to put back on but in fact it is not.
I think there must be some sort of spring-type of clip that fits into the metal ring on the windshield and mine (I think) is shot.
When I ask the local parts store guys they just look at me like I'm just some crazy woman.
Does anyone know what the name of this part is and have any hints on how to fix it?

I just took mine out of a GS430 (06) and there is a Hex bolt that holds it in place. Assuming yours is the same its probably missing that bold. There is a metal tab on the window where it slides into place and the black cover on mine has a whole for the hex screw. If there was a screw you should see a dimple mark on the metal tab on the window. Hope this helps.
