Our mirror (2004) has a screw from the windshield mount pointing back into the mirror (?). How do I get this screw installed again with the button glued to the glass?

Got it figured out. The part with the screw is the bracket that slides downward. I inserted a screwdriver and tapped it with a hammer to slide it out. From there I was able to screw the two back together and fit it back into the windshield.
