I finally got some chrome trim back around my windshield. However, the top three clips aren't holding the trim in place very well. Nothing is cracked or broken, they just don't hold. I have tried slightly tweaking the trim and it helped a little but it will still pop off after a few days.

Is there a good adhesive that I can use that will keep things in place? Sort of a JB weld type goop that might work?

Probably the only way to fix it correctly is remove the windshield and replace the plastic clips that secure the trim. If you glue the trim in, you'll ruin it whenever you've got to take it off, and it's spendy$$$$.

It probably would ruin your trim when you go to remove it.... But I've used 3M weatherstrip adhesive on my old BMW to hold the windshield trim on. Available at any FLAPS. I got the black stuff in an orange tube. When I finally did replace the windshield on the car, I had to break the trim to get it off.

Did you decide not to use the rubber gasket?
