a good adhesive for a car windshield?

[ZippyDan]

A friend's car has some kind of box + antenna contraption thing that is for the TV (?), radio (?), GPS (?) on her in-dash head unit. The cable comes out from under the roof fabric and the box itself seems intended to be hidden behind the pull-down visors at the very top of the front windshield/windscreen. Before anyone asks, I have no idea if this was a factory install or after-market.

Now the antenna-box itself seems to have had some kind of adhesive on it in the past, but it has obviously lost integrity, and so the box will stay stuck to the window for a while, but then will annoyingly come loose and fall down, sometimes at dangerously distracting times.

So my question is, what would be the right kind of stick-on adhesive to buy to replace the old one and remedy this situation? Obviously a new adhesive would need to be:

1. Semi-permanent: strong enough so that it wouldn't come loose under any normal use, but not so permanent that it couldn't be removed if needed.
2. Sun/Heat/UV resistant: I don't know if any kind of adhesive can beat the sun forever, but I'd like to buy something with that goal in mind
3. Anything else?

Thanks!

There is rear-view mirror glue - wouldn't that work? I had a car that had a glue on rear-view and had to re-glue it after a few years, and generally had to reapply it about once a year.

3M double sided moulding tape (the red stuff) will do the job.

rearview mirror adhesive is basically super glue. Find some strong stuff. at worst, you can use a razor blade to scrape the stuff off when you want to remove it.

There are lots of tapes that will work. It mostly depends on how heavy your item is.

3M VHB (very high bond) is awesome stuff. That or 3M Dual-Lock (what EZ passes come with).
