Hi Corey,

3M makes VHB (Very High Bond) "glue" used extensively in the automotive 
industry to attach trim to body panels without fasteners. If the surface 
is irregular you might want to use a double sided VHB tape with a thin 
layer of foam between the two glue surfaces. I would suggest contacting 
3M customer service/tech support to make sure all the requirements of 
your application are met by the multitude of 3M product offerings.

Good luck,

Bill Loesch
