Default Jury rigging a quarter panel?

Howdy all,

Wanted everyone's opinion here. Please see the pictures, I've got a quarter panel flaring out (front lower right). I bought my HS used and appears that someone prior to me attempted so hot glue, or similar.
My natural instinct is to get some heavy duty epoxy and really get in there along the seam. However, I wanted to see if anyone here had any better insight and/or experience?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same panel issue, I was going to use epoxy or something similar, but before I could do something about it, the paint shop that handled repainting my bumper after a mishap with the garage door, they fixed it for me.
I never really looked at what they did that closely, but I feel like I remember he tried a clamping tool and then finished it with a zip tie.

That should be a cheap fix at a body shop. I would get a few estimates. I had my rear bumper replaced and when it got a bit loose a year later, they put it back in place in less than 15 minutes.

Not a bad idea actually. Can't hurt. I'll give it a shot.

Ya gotta love zip ties. If the estimate is insane, I'll take a look. Thanks!
