At present it is only held by being pressed into the shelf/glass crack and black fabric to the glass. Although there are no rattles and it seems secure I will add a magnet... it is so easy to get out.
If black felt is draped over it, forming a gentle curve across the back of the shelf you would hardly notice it in the rear-view mirror.
COST: zero, nil, zilch. Effectiveness: 5 stars. Appearance: unobtrusive. Weight saving: 150grammes . Ease of future maintenance improvement: 50%. Environmental impact: zero
p.s. Yesterday I noticed that if the sun was such that the space ship was reflecting in the glass the height is actually TRIPLE that of the light alone.

Went for a 150km spin over poorly made road at 100kmph. It stayed in place so I do not expect to use the magnet idea.
