On a new rig, it's just the elasticity and tension of the rubber grip.
After a few years, I think what holds it is oil from the fingers, and dirt
that has worked its way under the front edge.  I recently bought an Icom 765
and removed the rubber grip and cleaned it with soap and water.  Since then,
it comes off easily.  I'm thinking about using 3 or 4 small dots of
old-fashioned rubber cement spaced around the outside edge.  Any more than
that and it would probably never come off again.  If they had only put a
hole in the grip so you could get at the setscrew, you could glue it on for
good!
