Clean the glass and the clip where they both meet, with Windex, dry them, then lay some plain silicone sealant in the clip and drop the window into it. Roll the window up and don't let it down for 72 hours.

I'll keep that product in mind and try it some day. What do they say is the cure time?

That's too bad it didn't work. I like the silicone but the one problem with it is the cure time. I mentioned to wait 72 hours because that is the time for silicone to fully cure under most conditions. In reality you could open the window after 24 hours as long as you do so sparingly and you don't keep going up and down with it. Fridays after work seems to be the best time to do it if the truck is going to sit until Monday morning. That way you can close the window and just let it sit.

It did not work.It came off.I think that left side(is coming off) is damaged and it won't hold on to the glass.

Does your glass clip have both sides to it or has one side broken off?
