This is in reference to your statement that automotive manufacturers commonly use adhesives. I worked in an auto assembly plant for 37 years and they do not glue anything structural together. The only thing I can think of that is attached with pressure sensitive tape is emblems and door side molding. My winnie has headlight assemblies, fenders, hood hinges, the roof, front grill and who knows what else glued on. The is no comparison between auto engineering and that of an RV.
I always thought the hood sheet (aluminum) on my Expedition was just glued to the frame. You can see the glue squeezing out.
