[Vwdiesel] Loose Vent Windows

Well, crap.

I figured I'd give mirror adhesive a try, hoping to get lucky.

Well, after the third try (but each time I could identify things to try to help) it looked like it was going to work.  Except when I was closing the window, the stupid thing shattered!  

On the other side, I was totally unsuccessful in getting it to stick.

So, anyone have a pair off a parts car they'd like to sell?  I'm not sure if I have a preference between vent windows, or stationary ones.
