We have a glass shower door. We have nowhere else to hang our towels in our tiny bathroom except on the back of the door. We've tried Command hooks, and we've tried using them with what we were told was an "industrial" adhesive for them, but they keep coming off.

What's the correct way to permanently attach a towel hook to tempered glass?

You could use over door hooks, such as this, on the bathroom door.

Google suction cup hooks for hooks that attach to glass.

Supermagnet hooks are also available. You could attach a decorative metal plate to the bathroom door for them. Or use a supermagnet hook on one side of the glass door and an non-hook supermagent on the other side

EDIT:
Here is a link about attaching metal to glass. What type of adhesive do I use to bond metal & glass?

The accepted answer recommended epoxy.

Your local auto parts store should have a simple kit for mounting rear view mirrors to windshield glass. It may be intended for metal, though, so choose your hooks carefully.

I'd also consider cyanoacrylate (super glue). Plan well.

Your best bet is a wall mounted towel rack with a swing arm(s), attached to the wall near the corner between the shower door and the wall.

This would have the added benefit of quicker drying if you swing it out to 45 degrees when you're finished in the bathroom, thus allowing free air circulation on both sides of the towel.

Potentially, there are variations on this idea, such as a floor to ceiling pole with swing arms, or a swing arm unit that attaches to frame of the door or to the door jamb.
