I got a tube off a local windscreen installer, they use it for bonking in glass in modern cars. It sticks just about anything to just about anything ! My A pillar trim`s arn`t coming off in a hurry !

Sikaflex is very expensive, you can get other brands that are just as good but half the price, Everbuild make it and it only costs £6 a tube instead of £11 for sikaflex. You can tell if it is the right stuff because it has a peel off lid on the opposite end from the nozzle with a widget underneath.

Used it to glue the ally together on the flatbed on the works van after 5 years it was a devil to get appart.
