There are several RV builder logs out there showing how it's done. If I recall well, the builder must protect the glue against sun light, as it weakens the glue (this may be outdated info: it's been a while since I looked into it). One of the drawbacks I see is that if the canopy needs replacement, then all parts glued to it go to the trash as well, as opposed to a canopy attached with screws.
