Common problem, as noted by others. My solution was to sand off all of the paint on the brackets that are to be glued to the fiberglass (this is critical), then rough sand the old adhesive/fiberglass side, then use lots JB Weld (original) with clamp pressure for 24 hours. Make sure you use enough JB Weld so that it flows through the holes in the brackets for additional support/holding. It's been solid as a rock for the past 5,000 miles.
Oh, and while you're at it, check ALL of the other metal brackets that are glued to the fiberglass for potential failure! I had to epoxy several more brackets, including those holding the front grill.
