Consider using an adhesive such as Loctite Depend 330.

Hmmm, sounds like a product for really incontinent adults, but I'll
order some anyway. If it doesn't work for Tom, I suggest he cruise the
local auto parts store, which usually features a dozen varieties of
compasses. The "PZL style" (compass ball floating in a clear sphere) I
have in my ASH 26 E has worked well for 10 years, looks decent, and cost
$4.95.

This might not be an option for a standard registration, but nobody has
complained about it in my Experimentally registered glider. There are no
adjustments on it, but mounted well forward on the cowling, it doesn't
need any. Some units do have the adjustments, so be prepared to spend an
extra $2.
