We’re seeing another sticky situation develop, after Tesla recalled 46,096 Cybertrucks to stop them from falling apart because the stainless steel panels are held on with the wrong glue. This time, it’s the Cybertruck’s off-road light bar that’s flinging itself off at highway speeds. Incredibly, the light bar is also glued in place.
You’d be surprised. With some chassis, especially ones from aluminum and carbon fiber glue fulfills an important structural role.

The clinching is just there to fix the parts until the for glue is hardened, after that it doesn’t do anything.
It’s not that that doesn’t work. It’s just that you have to do it right.
