Default Convertible Rear Window fix?

I have a 98 Vert. that I was foolish enough to take to a local Prime Shine car wash in my haste to have a clean car. When I was drying the car the rear window came loose from the top. I notice that there is a rubber seam that appears like it was just glued in place.
Is there a special glue I need to use to adhere the window back to the top? Any ideas are much appreciated.

The Rhino glue works great. Did mine about a year ago. Still holding strong!
