I used Marine Goop to install a VCP day hatch kit a few years ago and it's
performed flawlessly ever since. Unbolt and remove the rims and clean off
the old adhesive. If your hatch doesn't have bolts, I would install three at
the same time. Goop is pretty viscous, so I would try to apply as evenly as
possible.

Another very permanent option would be 3M 5200, but I found the Goop easier
to work with faster setting times.
