remove the window glass,
clean off al the old adhesive from the surface of the window and the attachment bracket. be sure to mark the spot on the glass where the bracket fits.
go to the auto parts place and get some good quality urethane adhesive and apply it to the bracket and reset it on to the window, let dry 24 hours and all should be fine
