Doing a bit of rehab on my front trunk lid in preparation for paint. One side of the A-frame member is stuck tight to the skin but the other side has lifted off about 3/32". I want to glue the lifted side down but don't know what adhesive would work best. 3M Panel Bonding Adhesive looks like it would be the ultimate but kind of expensive and probably overkill for this application. Any suggestions?

I think I'm going to pick up a tube of this 3M 550 Multipurpose Adhesive at my local Napa for $13.

My concern with most 2-part epoxies is that they tend to set up hard and I'm worried they would crack over time with the constant flexing and vibration of the hood. I looked at a variety of 2-part body panel adhesives and single part urethane windshield adhesives. I think they would be great in this application but are all pretty expensive when all I need is an 8 inch bead. They above is a polyurethane elastomeric and looks like it should check all the boxes.
