Nice write up.
Just one thing to note that plastic will not glue at all. If you melt a bit of plastic and it smells like wax = trouble to bond.
I like the soldering iron and use it all the time especially to melt out clips from bodies so as to not damage the metal or paint and just replace with a new clip.
Now you can try a reactive urethane , sikaflex ( that is a windscreen urethane ) .
The only way to glue is to arc it first.
In the melting process you could always leave the springy bit on without cutting it off so as to remelt it.
The SS panel are a very tight fit if you use the plastic sill designed for it. Covering them up will cause a problem in such that it will be impossible to snap the SS plate in
