Rear vent window re-attachment / repair (Wagon)

I am having a problem re-attaching my rear vent window on my 96 Roadmaster Wagon. The Glue that attached the two little aluminum hinges has given up. I have combed several related threads and found that you can use rear view mirror adhesive. Sounds credible. But when I go to re-attach the window to the car the hinges pop off as soon as I try to close the window. When the rubber seal begins to push against the window there is a TINK sound and the hinges pop off.

I have cleaned both surfaces to surgical levels. I used a sparing amount of rear window adhesive (a single drop) just like you would with a rear view mirror coats the whole piece of aluminum and they just pop off. Is there something I am missing here? Is there a better adhesive? Do I need to rough up both sides. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am using a Permatex "professional" kit from the local auto parts store. Is there a better kit out there? Is there a better adhesive?

Try Gorilla Glue. I've used it before with good results. I also duct tape the hinge side of the window closed for a couple days, too, so it has plenty of time to cure. The cold weather is probably not helping things, either.

toomanytoyz,
You were right on the mark!

Thank you very much. Gorilla Glue for the win!

Here is a picture of the glass before re-attachment of the mounts. I also used 1000 grit wet/dry paper to clean/scuff up the surfaces. if you look closely there is a bit of a shadow on the glass of the lower attachment point. After sandpaper it was gone. So perhaps there was something still there during the first go-around.
However clamps and Gorilla glue worked killer. There was a bit of overrun from the gorilla glue. It expands out as it dries but a little razor blade action and it all cleaned up. Pictures are below.

It even opens correctly.
