Question for those 4400/4700 sovrans and possibly other models...the metal bracket mounted to the back of my main engine hatch which the top of the gas shocks attach to has pulled out from it's mounting position. The last time I lifted it, the eight screws pulled out of the fiberglass and the adhesive had no adhesion to the metal. To fix it, I sanded down to the fiberglass and sanded the metal then wiped both with acetone.  I then filled the holes with two part epoxy and let cure.  24 hours later, I applied epoxy in between the bracket and fiberglass before screwing into place.  After allowing it to cure 10x longer than the stated cure time, I tried lifting it again and it immediately separated with no epoxy adhesion to the metal bracket. The epoxy specifically lists fiberglass and metal on the instructions.

Has anyone else experienced this and found a good fix?
