Glue of some form, Cant remember what I was told to use.

Put cling film on the window, Else it will stick and your crack the window (Trust me!)

I put double sided tape over the lip of the deflector alont the top to give it a bit more thickness and it stayed up fine.

i had the problem wen i fitted my deflectors wen i put the electric window up it wud get to the top and come back down on its own at this point i was cofused i had clips to put in the chanel of the rubber 2 hold the deflectors up . to stop the window keep comin down i had to cut the outer bit of rubber in the chanel. the window stays up now.
the wind deflector is in the window chanel and wen the window is up the channel is tighter like wedgin something up there and theres presure on the window and the motor detects the presure and thats y it comes back down to prevent it smashing or damaging what ever is there

dan didnt u get any u shaped clips with yours mate
