Default What to glue side window glass into bracket with? Silicone?

I'm replacing my power door lock motors/regulators on my sedan, and when I pulled out my window glass I noticed one of the two brackets that attaches itself to the glass has pulled off.

It looks like it was originally glued on with silicone or something.

What do I use to glue it back on with? I only want to do this once!

window glass sealant.. just like they use to put the front windsheild on..

if you take it to a place that puts windows unless they are money grubbin..

they should give a dab for free..

I wouldn't use silicone since its not that strong in shear..

compared to the stuff thats was originally on there..

could use liquid nails too...from home depot or dixieline..

well in an effort to beat the rain, i used an extra strength two part epoxy. It seems to be holding up fine. Hopefully it will do alright long-term. I also lubed up my weatherstrip channels to make everything move easier.

That should work..

In the past,I have used a two part epoxy product called "quik-steel"
for this with very good results as long as it is "fresh"..
IE: if it has not been on the shelf too long..
It tends to get hard and brittle with age..

See: http://people.consolidated.net....html
{the one at the very top}

You can also add extra support/epoxy around the edges of the
brackets since the area can't be seen..

I've noticed the Permatex "Plastic Weld" also sucks a nut if it's not fresh. I've never used their Quik Steel though.

I used silicone about 2 months ago, still holds fine.
