Watch this video so you get an understanding of what's inside there. There should be aluminum square tubing in the walls to attach to. You will need to seal the gap up with a good adhesive caulk, screw the corners into the Al tubes, and I'd work up some way clamp/press it together while the adhesive cures. Reseal underneath too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXNYA73rCNE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXNYA73rCNE ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

It probably would not hurt if you could get an anchor into the tube to provide more grip for the screws also.
