It was glued on by the factory. Use a seam sealer to repair it is the 'correct' way.

I wonder if a modern 2-part body epoxy would work?

Use a seam sealer or panel adhesive... Check out upol website... U can get adhesives that set off in a few minutes or up to 60mins... Don't use a 2pack epoxy resin it wont fill the gap between the panels

I used this Evercoat product but I wondered if one could get away with a standard urethane product like Sikaflex. The Maxim is a 2 part epoxy & paints just fine but its hard to get. The advantage of this over the 3M seam sealer was the tube, its a single cartridge to fit a standard caulking gun. The others (3M sausage tubes & other 2 part epoxy's) require special guns. It cures to a very solid state unlike conventional urethane which tends to stay flexible throughout its life.

Dundee & srb210 - have both of you guys used single part urethane for that purpose before with success?
