Not had any problems with mine, I thought it looked pretty secure, I've knocked it a couple of times when cleaning the inside of the screen and it felt solid.

My dealer in Wiltshire has had to change 4 so far - have noticed that the black bit gets hot??! this appears to have made the glue too soft to hold.
After being told that they wanted the screen out I have repaired the sensor myself it was the spring preloading the sensor angle and putting too much load on the adhesive patch. This was corrected by using 3M VHB tape [good for 15yrs once fitted] or NO NAILS RED double sided tape. Sensor now firm on screen and alls well.
