Default Rain Sensor GLUE?

Well, seems that these 90 degree weather we have been having melted the so called glue they used to hold the rain sensor. Now i see why the auto thing acts funny. Need to figure out a way to glue it so it can sense the rain. Does anyone know how to fix this without having to deal with the dealer ship??

I would be careful how you attach the rain sensor. The sunroof in my LS430 was replaced and the tech had to remove the rain sensor. When he replaced it, he noticed a few bubbles between the glass and the rain sensor module. He told me the rain sensor is attached with a kind of adhesive gel pack and if there are any bubbles in front of the sensor, it could negatively affect the sensor's operation. He had to replace the adhesive pad and so far, I have not had a problem.
