John Dobson's side have struggled so far this season and ultimately could not prevent their third defeat of the campaign against the reigning champions despite being back on home soil.
After a close opening quarter in which neither team got any points on the board, the hosts thought they had broken the deadlock in the 24th minute but their try was disallowed after the ball went forward off Warrick Gelant's hand.
Stormers did eventually take the lead 10 minutes later as Gelant's disguised pass set up Damian Willemse for the opening try, which Manie Libbok converted. But the teams went in level at 7-7 at half-time as Johnny Matthews touched down late in the first half.
Warriors went in front early in the second half as Sione Tuipulotu chased down Sebastian Cancelliere's kick before going over for his side's second try, with Adam Hastings adding his second conversion to make it 14-7.
The Stormers levelled things up in the 55th minute as Dan du Plessis showed great improvisation to work his way over before Libbok converted his try. Glasgow thought they had responded with a quickfire try but Cancelliere's effort was disallowed.
Libbok kicked a penalty to put the hosts 17-14 up, only for Kyle Rowe's brilliant try - converted by Tom Jordan - to give Glasgow a 21-17 lead. And the Warriors made the game safe as Henco Venter scored a bonus-point try, which Jordan converted, in the final 10 minutes.
