Default Convertible Deck Lid Splitting

Hope someone can lead me down the correct path here. The drivers side of my deck lid is splitting and need to know the best way at bonding them back together.

It runs the entire length of just the drivers side. I was thinking about inserting plastic wedges to open it up a little and putting something in there and then clamping them together to hold it.

Anyone know what I could use?

Thanks

I would use the same epoxy bonding adhesive used to replace panels on Corvettes. I remember Wilcox recommending this product: SEM 39747 epoxy
