I was putting in some of my power window wiring today and noticed that the rubber "corks" that  the power window wiring is molded to have shrunk a little that the holes are all too big to hold them.  I would suggest drilling smaller holes then sneaking up to a final size that allows the rubber plug to stay in.

I have the exact same problem in mine. The plug just pulls out of the door all of the time.  :banghead:

What about weather striping adhesive, like what the trunk seals are held in with?

That stuff is too soft. The rubber grommets do have a lip to lock them in like the factory hole plugs, it just that they shrunk over the years and get smaller than the hole.   I heard there are some newer power window kits for our cars.  PThey probably will use smaller holes and fresh  flexible wire. No reason to have holes that big unless you're working with the old factory stuff.
