Oh ok so you would have to drill 4 screws to hold it in place. I think its not going to hold enough with just glue .
Maybe 3M tape could but i think it wouldnt work for me here in iceland. Its way too much raining and just bad weather.

You would be surprised how strong sikaflex is.

That is the type of "glue" you would need, usually used to hold side skirts on to cars

I think i would screw it on as you did. Its easier to take off if ever needed.
