The Stainless steel panels on the box side panel came apart. I suspect that others may nave experienced this issue. What is the best adhesive to attach the SS to the fiberglass. Info on various products did not provide assurance in applications to SS.

Thanks for any information.

I don’t have any experience with the Hot Rod, but 3M 5200 Marine Sealant works well for bonding. 5200 is permanent. If you want something that bonds well, but is not permanent, 3M 4200 would work.

My favorite: https://www.amazon.com/Plio-Grip-PLIOGRIP-Adhesive-Cartridge/dp/B095VGXVL8
Bonds to all automotive materials. In my tests the plastic failed before the bond. Available in 60 and 90 minute cure. I prefer the 60.
I like Pliogrip better than the 3M equivalent. I use it in small batches without the mixer tip, I just mix it on a pallet with a putty knife.
