The 1x2 wasn’t molded into the surrounds - it looks like they glued the surround to the 1x2 using liquid nails or something.
I tried cleaning all mating surfaces real well then applied JBWeld and clamped together for 24 hours, but that didn’t hold.
Any ideas anyone - short of putting screws from the outside thru the surrounds? What adhesive would you use (don’t really care that it could never be released as the tubing can be unscrewed)?

Many body shops use a panel adhesive now for later model GM vehicles to glue plastic (and steel) body panels to the metal frame work of the car. It is a two part adhesive the mixes in the tube as applied. It is stronger than a weld when dry. Available at Auto body and paint supply stores.
Made by 3M and I believe it is called Panel Bond. My stop by a supplier near you and verify with them that this will work, but I think it is what you need. Local body shop might even be able to give you some info.
