There are no adhesives that I know of that would be road-reliable (read, "Not going to kill someone by having a panel blow off at freeway speed")for any amount of time. You would be opening yourself up to a lot of liability there. I wouldn't even try it.


Spaceships and aircraft yes. Trailer at highway speeds, no?? :-)

There's a whole world of adhesives out there that don't come from Home Depot...

Above is tongue-in-cheek. As others have said, 3M VHB is widely available and has peel strengths way in excess of any mechanical or aerodynamic load you could put on the panels.
