Any ideas on sticking small corner that is coming unstuck,what about
that uv stuff used for phone displays, or CA glue?

Surely you would see it due to the change in the backing due to the glue?
How much would it cost to strip it and put a new piece on?

More generally, are there any Top Tips for putting the stuff on in the
first place, without getting bubbles or creases?

May depend of film. Clean the glass throughly. Plenty of water with a
spot or three of deterget to break the suface tension in a spray
bottle. Large firm straight squeege. Spray the glass, place a corner
of film on glass in the appropiate lower corner, keeping the main
part of the film curled back and hanging down. Use the squeege to
slowly and gently guide the curl of film upwards allowing more to
contact the glass. Go slowly so bubbles/specks of muck flow away from
getting trapped under the film. Check alignment peel back and adjust
as required. Only once the film is in the correct place and fully
laiddo you try and carefully squeeze any excess water out from behind
the film.

I'd try this on the peeled corner.

RTFM !.

I fitted that stuff on my west-facing windows in the 80's and you
first gave the windows a good clean and squeegied them dry then
sprayed water with some detergent on theglass again, then carefully
stuck a vertical strip on then peeled the backing off while using
a rubber squeegee to smooth it on, removing the bubbles and creases
in the process.

Getting it off a few years later was more difficult.

Applying it to curved car windows might be more tricky.
