How to Repair?
To bond the plastic strip back onto the glass, there's the easy way and the hard way!
Easy way would be Silicone , it sill take a little bit of time to cure but it will hold nicely.
The hard but permanent way would be with automotive glass/rubber adhesive:
This would mean cleaining the interior of the weatherstrip channel (make sure it's clean and dry and old adhesive is removed , with tooth pick or something),
Priming the interior of the plastic channel with Loctite SF 770
Cleaning the glass and before applying the glue to the weatherstrip, use activator Loctite SF 7455 on the glass edge and door edge where glue will need to contact.
Apply adhesive in the weatherstrip channel, using Loctite 406 , and push in. Make sure you don't use too much so it doesn't get pushed out. It'll set it in quick. It'll be permanent
use mini-clamps where you can to hold the pieces together (especially the piece that sticks out the glass) until it's dry

Thanks, will take a look at the local parts stores for this!
Just some friendly advice - this material is VERY sticky and it can get out of control. It is difficult to clean up if it gets where you didn't want it.
If you place a bead on a strip and press it down, the bead will spread, of course. So, don't overdo it thinking it needs lots of adhesive. It's worth taking your time, plan it out before you start applying the material.
All the Best with it...
EDIT - Almost forgot. Clean both surfaces with rubbing alcohol first making sure the surfaces have no dirt or film; let the alcohol evaporate, usually a couple of minutes at least, before you apply the adhesive.
