I fitted mine 3 years ago using black silicone sealant. I roughed up both mating surfaces with very course sand paper, cleaned both faces with some IPA and covered with sealant. I made sure of a nice continuous bead all around the edges and let cure for 48hrs using a couple of clamps to hold together. It is still absolutely rock solid!! And I use the bike all year round.
I wouldn't over think it.
