Default Window falling out of track

This used to only happen in cold weather when my window was frozen to the door in the up position, but now it happens all the time. When I roll my window down (power windows) the track the window sits in is yanked out from underneath causing the window to fall into the door. I tried to use some epoxy made for glass and metal to glue the window in there, but that didn't seem work.

Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any ideas for solutions?

Mine did it last winter. It just happpened to fall back into the clips but this year I may not be so lucky. The surface needs to be clean before you re-epoxy. I hate working on my own stuff...lol

next time you have to get into the door with the window out of the track use some pliers and crimp the track tighter in a few places. will be harder to pop in there, but should grab it a little better.
