Rear view mirror fell off

Hi guys

First time I've heard it experienced this

The rear view mirror fell off as I got in the car

The metal but which should've been bonded to the windscreen has come off as well which is still attached to the mirror arm

Anyone know anything about this please

Any ideas on cost how to fix and where

Thanks
Sp

Glue held it on to begin with, it can do it again.

Got it sorted by the glass company

The glue seems strong so far

Thanks for your advice
