I used Bostik Serious Stuff. I bonded battens end on to the edge of the roof cross members with a 4mm bead. When I came to get them off, I could hang my weight on it. Astonishing stuff. It's how I fit things to the inside skin now and its only about 8 quid a tube.
We even made a small electric car once using this stuff with bamboo & plywood (a whole other story).

I've used a number of grab adhesives and most have been fantastic. The only one that is complete rubbish is no more nails.
