Rear window louver hardware

Two of the louver holddown brackets, one on the bottom and one on the side of the rear window, have come loose. I am looking for ideas on the best adhesive to use to cement them back into place. Thank you for any suggestions!

Re: Rear window louver hardware

every time a used louver comes up for sale.the hardware is missing .its best to fab up what ever you need, and be done with it. as for glue a good quality two part epoxy works well

The louver is original to the car; it's just that age is taking its toll. One of the bottom brackets has come loose, so I'm looking for a double face tape to stick it back down, since it seems like that's what the factory used on that particular bracket.

One of the side brackets slides back and forth along the window, but doesn't come off. I'm not sure what they used to get it to stay in one place.

Finally, I'm looking for something better than "Back to Black" to use on the louvers. Anything you folks have used successfully I'm willing to try...
