Is the purpose to decrease the chance of the original mount failing? And/or keep the loose panel from flying off? Looks to flimsy to do either. A pop rivet through fiberglass with no backing washer...

I've normally use Loctite PL adhesives with it for 'permanent' and latex or silicon for tacking it to something and I can pop off with a putty knife .. maybe.

24 hour 5200 with weight for a couple days. Over 160 sq inches of contact area. You could watch the PVC slowly form to the roof.

Then I screwed the panels to the PVC frame.
