I guess what I'm saying is there is no place for that glue stuff on a TF truck, since there is no place on them that the factory did it. I could see it if you use it and then drill for plug welds or do spot welds that stuff would be super seam sealer.
Problem is it would be difficult to remove the panel. Why remove? Crashes happen you know.
Obviously if you are doing a 100 point show car or you just want your truck just as it came from the factory, which I can respect, it's not for you. Just like there is no reason to discuss 671 blowers or Corvette IRS, it's not for you.
You would NOT want to plug weld thru it for a number of reasons, one, it would contaminate the weld making for a welding nightmare. Secondly, what do you do to remove the part that is glued on.........you use heat. So no welding thru the glue is not a good idea at all.
They do make bonding material where you apply it and then use a STRSW to spot weld thru it, that works fine because it's designed for it.
You know the funny thing, on your part about replacing the part if it were needed, a glued on part could be taken off very easily, with some heat. A heck of a lot easier than drilling out spot welds. And believe me I do that at ease being I have a Spitsnagle spot weld remover. Heating something up and slipping a putty knife between the panels is a lot easier.
You know there are cars being built today with the entire UNISIDE bonded on? And Roofs, bonded on. It's pretty interesting stuff.
