The window gasket has separated from the glass on our C28. I tried supergluing, but it did not stick. And ended up looking crooked. Any ideas on the best way to fix this?

Interested in a fix for this. The gasket is loose on our starboard window too.
 
This happened on our boat (2021 R27). We found that when opening the windows fully wide open that the window gasket sides over the round port hole window and over time can roll and detach the window gasket. We try not to open the sided windows that far now.

This is the process that work for us to fix the gasket:
Unscrew the interior window handle.
Remove the window using a suction up grip handle. The window sides out to the stern of the boat.
Clean off old adhesive from the window and gasket using IPA.
Re-bond gasket using 3M5952 double sided foam adhesive tape (1/4” wide).
Clamp and let cure overnight.
Reinstall window and handle.
