Many of the solvents, and most (all?) superglue, will tend to mist the glazing..

Glue and Glaze, or Canopy glue, would be my weapons of choice..

I glue in all my glazing using clear silicone glue, bought from the local Hobbycraft store. It is transparent, has no effect on the paint, but most importantly, if a repaint is required and/or the window gets damaged, the glazing can just be peeled off without causing any damage.
