The only thing that bugged me a little about the Philips was that the light housing was a bit too heavy for the mounting bracket, so I have to really crank down on it to make it hold so it doesn't move when hitting bumps, but it still runs 18 years later.
My problem too. The center of gravity of the Safelite is so far forward that it puts a tremendous moment on the mount.

I’ve tried double-sided adhesive tape and it helps some.

A future project will be to graft the Safelite mount onto a stronger handlebar mount.
