Tigerseal, and other PU based sealers are not the best products to hold heavier parts on your car, use the adhesive that is used to fix bonded windscreens in place, used with the correct primer, that is supplied with the kit, you'll only be doing the job the once

I used Araldite (and lots of) in August for a spoiler and it's held well.
If you can, bolt these things on as well, you don't want it flying off mid-drive and going straight through someone's windscreen.

I've have my arch ripped off and i used a 2 part araldite and it didnt do sh!t!
Get yourself some PU sealant, you have to use it with a mastic gun but it works great! I got mine in black. Stuff works a treat. Sticks like sh!t to cloth

SikaFlex Black Bus and truck window sealant
i think it is the SikaFlex 255 or 265
Once you bond them on if you want to remove them you wont its dead strong stuff !!!
Make sure you got a good mastic gun as its a pain to get it out of the tube best to warm it up.
Tigerseal is what bodyshops use most of the time
