    You have to either use a very sticky adhesive and too much of it which will slow down drying times or use a couple of bits of wood to form a shelf-like effect for them to sit on with the weight then being held by the window sill.

    Hope this helps and is not too late.

    Screw A Piece Of 2x1 To The Underside Of The Window Reviel But Make Sure Its Level Let The Timber Stick Out By 3\4 Of An Inch Which Will Hold The Tile
    Until Dry
