We had the inner boxes detaching themselves, too.

To *try* and clean the glass before sticking the things to it we used to use "8-80" Ammonia from one of the labs - sometimes it worked sometimes the whip and external-base bit would stay there for months, other times drop off within days. I think the curvature of the glass had an effect - flat side-windows used to retain the base better than some of the non-flat windscreens/tailgates. Sierra Estates were a big problem, with their curved tailgate glass and rear wiper.
