It's good that they have a screw you use to lock the arms onto the window mounts. As long as the adhesive holds, these things should hold fine.
In reality the whole Wink mirror doesn't weigh much at all it's just plastic with the five small panes of glass/mirror.
well i hope it all worked out for you man! got some pics for us to check out?

This setup looks cool and all, but after a while you will get sick of EVERYONE blinding you at night.

I havent had any issues as far as people blinding me but that may be because of my tint.
However, I dont like how the mirror blocks so much forward visibility. I often have to duck down and look under the mirror to see if the light turns green.
The other issue is vibration. I could probably eliminate it by using the window mounts but honestly I might be retiring my time with this mirror soon

So how much do I gotta pay you to get that bracket setup for me? PM ME..... When I bought my car a few years back I tried that same mounting kit from before and it wouldn't keep the mirrors in place and would fall right off.. Returned them, but think this is the most SURE way of mounting.
