Anyone know of a VHF/UHF antenna that can mount on the glass and then
actually stay attached to the glass? I used one several years ago and on
a hot summer day, it came off. It used that sticky tape which was
worthless.

Try super glue.

Super Glue will not stand up outdoors- maybe 2 weeks- but the real problem
is that it is so rigid that it will likely crack windshield glass ( not rear
window) because the rate of expansion/contraction of the mounting foot is
different for that of the windshield glass.
The makers of the rear view mirror button and cement went to a great deal of
trouble to ensure that the scintered metal foot and the anaerobic cement
both had the same coefficient of expansion as the windshield glass.
