Unspring the button then glue it to windshield with 'Loctite' Auto Mirror Adhesive,
I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The rearview mirror on my car has twin maplights, and on the back it says "Donnelly IE 8012001". I just re-glued my mirror to the windshield after it fell off. Some other cars use a screw to attach the button to the mirror, but this mirror does not. Instead, I used a flat-head screwdriver to pry the button out of the mirror -- be careful to not to hurt yourself or the mirror. After prying the button out, I studied the mirror, and there doesn't appear to be any other way to remove the button. When gluing the button to the windshield, be careful to figure out which side and orientation the button needs to face before gluing it to the windshield.

I just finished replacing a mirror on a 1999 lesabre and they are probably the same. The button is held in place by a spring steel clip that is visable at the square end of the button. It looks like the button and clip are made together but they aren't you place a small pocket screw driver in the center slot of the clip and pry up and out at the same time on the bottom of the button and the button will come out. ...

I recently had to repair the rearview mirror on an '02 Nissan Xterra. It may be different, but perhaps it used the same technique. The mirror is connected to a metal "button" which is glued onto the windshield. In my case the glue had come undone and I had to remove the button from the mirror in order to re-affix it to the window. You can probably get the rearview off the button while still on the windshield in the same way. From the bottom of the housing there's a small notch where you can see the button and a small tab of spring steel. Use a hack saw blade or something else flat and long and slide it in between the tab and the button. Push it in around .75" until you bump up against another spring tab. Continue to push against it and it will release the lock. While pushing on it pull the mirror upwards off the button.
It is located on the windshield button on your dashboard
It is best done with the button removed from the mirror. Clean the glass and the button thoroughly with rubbing alcohol before applying the glue and be sure the button is right side up and exactly where you want it before you attach it to the glass. Allow the glue and button to dry several hours before reattaching the mirror.

The mirror bracket is generally held onto the 'button' with a very small Allen screw. Look for this and loosen it. -Get Loctite Auto Mirror Adhesive at any auto parts store to re-stick the button.
