im not quite sure but at Pepboys....or any other parts store i guess has a "loctite" epoxy that works well to hold things. But a window it put under so much stress....mainly due to duration rather than force applied during use.

I guess its an idea though. Hope it helps.

GOODLUCK!

Clean the window and rail very well and use a urethane adhesive (Gorilla Snot) or even a structural adhesive like Liquid Nails...

If the glue lets go just shoot me a message I have and use poly urethane for work(Auto Glass) I can shoot you a tube and the a pinch of primer. Best way to get those clips to hold again imo. This glue hold something like 1500lbs per square inch. It is the Sika Flex brand.
