For this I'd use GE Silicon II. Actually any adhesive used for
aquarium sides will work.

What is your time worth? I'd carry the thing into a good glass company, and
pay them to do it with the not-available-outside-the-trade stuff, similar to
what is used on rearview mirrors. Sounds like the stuff they glue signs and
handles to glass doors with would be about right. They do this for a living,
they know what works.

I went to one glass company, with avery good rep. The guy told me to go to
Ace Hardware and get some silicone caulk.
