The glue probably wont stick to the plastic suction cup. You could try a 
smear of windscreen sealant on the suction cup or, less permanent and 
readily available, some Vaseline.

      <div>I understand the situation. My windshield cell phone holder
        falls off similarly. I still have the one mirror on each wing

                          this will sound good for most of our Healey
                          owners, however finally I got tired of trying
                          to see the 2 mirrors on my front fenders and
                          the tiny one on the dash.  First, I tried clip
                          on panoramic mirrors on the dash mirror.  Not
                          very good as they kept falling off and were
                          too low really see behind.  Next, I tried a
                          panoramic mirror attached with a suction cup,
                          but it kept fall in off the window.  Finally,
                          I found the best mirror for seeing behind and
                          the sides.  It had a great suction cup with
                          the ability to tighten the fixture, so it was
                          really locked on the window, although I is not
                          glued to the window.   Also, the panoramic
                          feature allowed me to raise it up to the top
                          of the windscreen.  I bought it from
