Hair spray. Particularly Aqua Net (use the stuff in a pump bottle, it'll last you nearly a lifetime
) Spray the hair spray in the grip, liberally, and slide it on. It will be loose for a few minutes to a few hours but once dried, you shouldn't have a problem.
I would avoid oils or WD40 since these will absorb into the grips and may never set up so that the grip will bond to the bar. In some instances, the oil can make the grip expand and it will never stay on the bar.
By the way, the Windex (or alcohol) will work also, it just takes a while longer to dry and doesn't provide anything to bond the grip to the bar.
