Just about all of my cargo area ribs had become unglued on one of the mating surfaces and light rust was starting on the surface where the glue had been. I used a product from my local automotive paint store. Not sure of the actual brand name, but it's a product called "Panel Bond". It's made just for this purpose. It was a two part adhesive that swirled together down the spout and came out mixed.

I was gonna say the same, Seamsealer, NAPA sells it too in caulk gun tubes. Supper strong, flexible enough, what the factories used...sets quick too but pricey, about $16 a tube but one tube will do a whole van and then some. Also great for small non-structural rust repairs underneath/floors etc. without welding. I held several small patch plates over holes in the floor in place with this stuff, back of rockers and behind the front grill area too with great results. A great alternative I used for similar work is PL-400 construction adhesive, Home Depot, Lowes, etc...nice and thick. tacky and bonds to anything, would work great for the ribs and is cheaper than seamsealer....
