Default Window won't stay clamped onto bracket!

So I got this issue with my little brother's car.

The regulator and the motor are fine - I know this.
The problem is the little white clamp that holds the window at the top and bolts onto the regulator at the bottom, won't stay clamped on anymore (seems the glue or something is no good). Thus, the window ill go up, but the regulator will pull the clamp right out from under the window when I try to roll it down, leaving the window just hanging.

The part in question is circled in GREEN below.

Now the question - what kind of glue can I use to fix this?

It's called panel bond it's what Bodyman use for door skins and quarter panel. it's spots u don't want to weld and it works great, use it twice on my window and in the end I just had to buy a new window. New window is 60 bucks, panel bond plus then u need the right gun ( not a one part tube but two part tube gun, so if u got a friend in body shop then try that first but in the end u may just want a new window.

I was afraid of that answer. Thanks for the info though. Aren't there any sealers available at home depot that might work as a holder? Hot Glue gun? Lol. Seems ridiculous to buy a whole new window for this...

Well that product "panel bond" is made by 3m and other companies but it's been tested and said it's stronger then metal. "that's ICAR classes talking" Now its a two part product ( glue). And the thing Is it just were u r trying to use it. Not like grinding metal with 36 grit disc and glueing it to another piece of metal with a 36 grit piece u r good to go with that. My window did last a years but after it came off and I had glue all over clip. I just got a new window
