In 14 years of trying I was never able to find an adhesive that would 
successfully reattach the latches to the glass.  Perhaps there is something 
available now.  Forget rearview mirror adhesive, superglue, clear caulk, 
Elmer's, Duocoa cement, architectural adhesive meant to attach two 
unsupported sheets of plate glass at an angle.  There is something in a tube 
called (I believe) Instead of Nails (nor similar cute name for construction 
glue) that may or may not work.  At Pinninfarina they apparently use 
something they buy on another planet, or perhaps they found a pot of 
something left over in Antonio Stradivari's workshop and made from an extinct 
fish.  However, as your car shows, it is also not always permanent.

If you find something that works, please share the info!
