Enclosure that sits atop the rearview mirror

If someone knows the answer, please tell me. I apologise in advance for the length:

Even after spending an inordinate amount of time adjusting it, this cover won't stay put. It "clicked" the first time I returned it to the dealer; he came out, replicated my actions, and then declared that was it. Oh, absolutely. After 10 minutes, it came off. Although the previous visit to the dealer took half an hour, the salesperson advised me to use double-sided tape in case it came off again (?). With my 7-year warranty in mind, I enquired about the possibility of getting a new cover. This was deemed "cosmetic" and hence excluded from the warranty, according to the response. The shroud conceals the ADAS camera and other sensors; thus, it poses a safety concern, in my opinion. Also, according to Kia rules, it's not allowed to use adhesives.

Is there a dashcam in the vehicle that connects to the mirror in the back? Ask me how I know this, but even though the adaptor is fantastic, taking the cover off is a certain way to ruin the plastic clips.

Parts of the car's trim falling off isn't just cosmetic, but if I were you, I'd just buy the cover and save £20. Make sure to inspect for damage the next time the cover is removed. Unless you've only had the car for a few days, I wouldn't expect Kia to cover anything if there is. Assuming it's broken, the worst-case scenario is that they'll charge you for a diagnostic.
