I would think that you could use any number of solutions...

Epoxy is my personal favorite for attaching just about anything to  
just about anything.
RTV would probably work good, as much surface area as possible and a  
nice thin layer.
Rear-view mirror adhesive is good for attaching stuff to glass.
A really excellent (but pricey) choice is 3M acrylic foam core double  
sided acrylic adhesive tape:

The foam core allows for some movement without compromising the  
integrity of the bond...  And the adhesive is very aggressive.

Whatever you chose to do, be certain to clean the surfaces well prior  
to using another adhesive.

Just a few thoughts.
