I feel like there has to be some kind of glue I can use on this, please tell me there is, it's hanging by a thread haha
Is this fixable? Special glue?

Krazy glue works well on rubber.

I used crazy glue type stuff. Worked really well. Just be absolutely sure you've got them aligned perfectly, as there are NO second chances.
The problem is that the oils in the rubber have evaporated, which is why it is more brittle and a bit smaller. This process will not stop, unfortunately. Rather than "glue", you might try some high-heat black silicone sealer instead of the hard glue products? After the sealer cures, carefully put things back into place and possibly use some strapping tape behind it for additional support.

can you not just get a new window seal?

The rest of the seal seems okay? How much are replacements and where is a good place to get? Thanks!
I recenlty replaced the quarter window seals from this place, I actually used a flocked version for a different model mopar since they did not make the ones specifically for my car. Ironically the ones for the other model were almost exactly the same as the ones that came off the windows and worked perfectly.

Which ones did you purchase? Make model and year of the part, please. 
@detriotmuscletechnologies.com If I remember right the 72 Dodge Charger quarter window seals can be cut to fit.
Great to know - thanks!
Quarter Window Leading Edge Seals - 10-145VWhich ones did you purchase? Make model and year of the part, please.
I took a dremel and lightly ground down a recess on the side facing in for the 4 chrome trim mounting screws like the original ones had otherwise they lock in without any kind of glue and can be cut to fit length
Thanks!

Okay so maybe I had cheap crazy glue but it didn't work at all, like not even a little. So I bought some 3M black weatherstrip adhesive, worked great! Doesn't look so nice up close but really can you even tell when you're not up close ?

Not to get off-topic but I really love the colors of your car! Nothing like that available in the new vehicles—even the most expensive ones.
Back on topic, this is very useful information!

Repair approved. Luckily You still had the torn piece intact.
Here's my repair on same part. 2" of weatherstrip was completely missing on top. Piece of rubber u-channel, cutting and lots of RTV did the trick.
Also thanks for sharing You pictures. I did not realize there should be rubber piece extending over glass corner. Maybe I can try to replicate it with RTV.
