1. Locate the mounting bracket on the windshield where the rearview mirror was attached.
2. Insert the metal piece (usually a spring steel clip or bracket) into the mounting bracket. Make sure it's properly seated and secure.
3. Position the rearview mirror over the mounting bracket and align the bolt hole on the mirror with the hole in the bracket.
4. Insert the bolt through the hole and tighten it securely using a screwdriver or wrench.
5. Test the mirror to ensure it's stable and properly attached.
Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:
* Clean the mounting bracket and the base of the rearview mirror before reinstallation to remove any dirt or debris.
* Apply a small amount of adhesive or thread locker to the bolt before tightening it to prevent it from loosening over time.
* If the mirror is still loose or unstable after tightening the bolt, you may need to replace the metal piece or spring clip.
