glue plastic to metal?

I have a 2000 silverado and the bedliner attached to the gate is coming off, ive tried lots of "super glue" and they stick but not forever. I tried a brand of epoxy but it did not work and after close examination of the product it was for "school and projects"

my question is , what kind of material can i use to "glue" the plastic ( assuming its plastic bedliner) to the metal

I am not willing to rip it off and use a spray on bed liner ( as i was told by the hardware store trying to make a buck) I just want a nice type of glue product that will withstand the weather even if i have to reapply it eventually , i want it to hold for as long as it can

let me know what you recommendd if you personally know it has worked for you

I posted this under auto but also figure i can try another area as well

    There are some specialty glues for this sort of application but they're pricey and require some skill to apply them properly. I'd recommend trying good ole construction adhesive from the hardware store (look among the caulk, since it's used with a calk gun. That should work just fine.
