Loose wing window glass

The glass has become lose in the frame. Any quick fixes to secure it without taking everything apart? I redid the seals and stuff about 8 months ago, so I am trying to avoid taking it apart again.
Thanks.

You could try some sort of a liquid sealant, but the right way to do it is take it apart and use a window glazing tape.

For the short term I'm going to try some type of sealant/adhesive that I can squirt in from the top. I'm trying to figure out what might work best.

You’re likely going to make a huge mess. Take it to a glass shop and let them do a proper job of it.

I did the sealant thing for a temporary fix one time and had to break the window as well as slightly bent the frame when the time came to fix it right. The glazing tape mentioned above is cheap and worth the effort.
