I fixed my loose rear window last year with 3M Windowweld and it's still holding strong. You need to use 3M primer on it and then apply the Windowweld urethane and clamp it together. There are special clamps that use suction cups on the glass to apply pressure to the glued edge. Leave it clamped for 24 hours and you're done. It's the same stuff they use in windshields, so it won't be affected by Florida heat

Good Luck!
