My guide clips are loose, and apparently committed to a life of roadside
freedom in the near future. They don't appear worn or decrepit, but slide
out of the little slots easily. Is there supposed to be some adhesive
quality to these or what? What holds them in?

I doubt very much that the groove is worn. You are just missing the plastic
guide clips on the bottom of the window.  They are available from the
dealer
and they are cheap.  thy simply slide back in.
