Firebird rear hatch skin separated

Anyone have the outer and inner skin of a hatch separate?
whats the right product to bond this together again? Or are there fasteners?

This is the first hatch I've seen that has separated. The door skins are glued in place with a GM Structural Epoxy adhesive P/N 12345726. The hatch may also use this type of construction, but I'm not sure how well you could prep the panels for re-gluing without first separating the two panels. I've attached a pdf showing how the service manual describes replacing a door skin. I would check with a local body shop to see how they would recommend repairing the hatch.
