Default Gm rocker panel adhesive

I had posted months ago but finally around to getting to this project. Im trying to glue one of the loose rocker panels back to the metal frame. Someone has had to replace a whole rocker panel molding as they're sold on ebay for 300$. Can anyone confirm if this is the original gm adhesive used to glue on the SMC rocker panels? Gm parts center has fusor 148 plastic bonding adhesive for gm cadillac xlr sideskirts as the same gm part number but not for sale. GM 12378568 Adhesive | eBay Adhesive 12378568 | GM Parts Center

The adhesive to attach the rockers is GM P/N 89020330 (Canadian P/N 8902332)
OR
Use US Chemical and Plastics 82007B System 2000 Structural Adhesive, a PLIOGRIP® adhesive manufactured by Ashland Chemical Company, or equivalent. Note the 30 minute working time and 2.5 to 3 hour cure time.

NOTE just google > Corvette Collision Repair Manual< and there are complete free PDF collision repair procedures downloads on the web,
There are 2 versions of this pdf out there, on the web, Model years 1997 thru 1998 and 2000 thru 2004.

Cheers,

Great so adhesive 89020330 lord fusor 127EZ is the correct one and not the one i posted above fusor 148 for cadillax xlr plastic panels. For sure this one Adhesive 89020330 | World Parts Direct and not the gm 12378568 lord fusor 148. Im trying to finish up some of the body work thats left ive fixed most of the mechanical issues just ac blend doors left to do which requires dash removal.
