Do I want to use to help keep these clips attached to my windshield frame?

I need to replace about 10 of these clips and the are not staying in place as I would like. Do I want to use basic super glue, JB Weld, 5200, or something else to make sure they stay stuck?

Good question. Mine move around and have taken the powdercoat off. I put a couple on upside down and these seem to stay put. Because the little lip on the clip digs into the rubber trim at the bottom of the windshield. This makes them very hard to get off so that is why i only did one or two. Let me know if you find something that works better!!! Thanks DREWImage

+1 Some of mine come off with the top.

When I put the top on, I have to try to wedge the snaps in place. I have a few that stay attached, but two that come off with the top.

They are not designed to be glued in. They NEED to be able to move for adjustments. Not sure why your picture of these does not show small screws in them. All of mine have small screws that can be tightened when needed so they don't move or pop out of the track.

Have the same issue with mine - getting some new ones to see if that helps.

If I used any glue on those, it would be something like 100% silicone. Waterproof and easily removed if necessary.
