     Only a true chemist would tell the rest of us to etch our windshields
     with a, "simple 10% solution of ammonium biflouride."  I must remember
     to ask for it at the auto parts store!

     Rudy, there's $$$ to be made in marketing a mirror adhesive kit that
     really works.  I'm - 0 for 10 - on those things.

Jean:

This is one of those experiences that may be exactly what you need, or may
also result in gales of laughter.

I had a similar need, to glue my rear view mirror to my windshield, in a non-
standard position.   I solved the problem by using standard Dow RTV silicone,
BUT, in order to get it to adhere, I had to roughen the surface of the glass,
using emery paper.

Now, using emery paper on your parts may be difficult, or impractical, and so
my suggestion is use a mild glass etch, which could be a simple 10% solution
of ammonium biflouride, which you could put on with a cotton swab.   Rinse
well, then dry, and apply your silicone.

Hope it works for you.
