well you want to weld every thing in if you can . i have not see any thing bonded that did not leave a shadow line in the paint in the hot sun its hard to get past this with any air cure epoxys and the steel patch will move at a diffrent rate than the glue . the windshield urethane is very strong and it needs to as the windows in car s from back in the 80s and up till now is stuctural and can not fall out in a crash . it works good for bonding as it can take vibration and dampen body panels but would not make a good glue for patching a part that will be filled with body filler and painted you could look at the 14366 metal welder by devcon and is a methacrylate adhesive .or Lord Hi adhesive 406/19 you can get this in small tubes it will go a long way .you will need a gun thats about $30 you will need plunger and mix tips Mcmaster carr has this stuff
