Can someone tell me what glue to use to attach these latches to the glass?

That is a mystery that has been debated on this forum probably forever....

So if you do a search here you will find a lot of good suggestions on various adhesives and prep methods that seem to work. After you get them re-attached, one trick is to basically just never latch them unless you need to, as in a rain storm or during car washing something like that.

I am planning to take my car to a local auto window shop and have them install them. It is my understanding they media blast the glass and latches and then glue them in place.
