This is one of those experiences that may be exactly what you need, or may
also result in gales of laughter.

I had a similar need, to glue my rear view mirror to my windshield, in a non-
standard position.   I solved the problem by using standard Dow RTV silicone,
BUT, in order to get it to adhere, I had to roughen the surface of the glass,
using emery paper.

Now, using emery paper on your parts may be difficult, or impractical, and so
my suggestion is use a mild glass etch, which could be a simple 10% solution
of ammonium biflouride, which you could put on with a cotton swab.   Rinse
well, then dry, and apply your silicone.

Hope it works for you.
