Rear view mirror fell off, took off glass chunk

Rear view mirror fell off and took a small piece of glass with it as shown in pics below
Can't really afford a new windscreen right now, so thinking of temporarily sticking it on the side of where the sticker currently is. Won't be exactly in the middle but it beats buying a new windscreen.
Will this be OK to do?
Also, do I specifically need the same little black sticker that's on the inside of the windscreen, and if so, where do I get one? :/
Heeeeelp!!

holy crap.
no help...
Meanwhile, a guy at work has been driving his MR2 for ages without an interior mirror, even been pulled over for suspected speeding and nothing said about it missing....
So, you have 1 more thing to go wrong, wonder what it's gonna be.

Did you glue it onto the glass without the black sticker? Guy at repco told me I need the sticker there or else something in the sun overtime will take the glue apart.
I can't glue mine back in the same spot, it's a chunk of glass lol (or can i?)

That stuff is awesome. I even used it to hold my boost-gauge in position in the triton for about 6months. Held it in place really well, but got a little saggy on hot days. Had to keep adjusting it.

Ooorrrrrrr, you could actually buy the proper glass glue they sell at just about every auto shop specifically for rear vision mirrors

Haha its back on now. I did get that rierview mirror attachment glue and primer kit from repco, just didn't wanna stick it onto the glass because originally it had a black sticker, was thinking it must've been there for a reason. Anywho, all good now
