Anybody ever have a "significant" portion of a wingwalk blow loose on their RV? Once upon a time I had an instructor tell me that he had the front half of one come loose and stand up in the breeze on a small Grumman of some variety. It blanked out the horizontal stab and elevator on that side to the point that pitch control of the airplane was comprimised.

Shoo goo type stuff. I think it's called Goop.

Shoe goo is now called E6000. You could probably glue a jump seat to the wing and take passengers up with that stuff. It is available in Walmart in the crafts section and in other craft stores.

YEARS ago, I had a small corner start to lift. Less then 1/8". I used a SUPER GLUE like product made in Germany that I purchased at Oshkosh AirVenture from a vendor in the fly market.
Still holding and there is no sign that it was glued.

At 3800 hrs I think you should have to buy new ones. 
Just kidding. I recently installed mine for the first time and I thought I remember the directions also recommending CA glue for corner problems.

No, but had one melt off during Re-entry
Goop should work great to secure the corner.

Ed,
Try plain old contact cement. Apply thin coat to both clean surfaces, let dry thoroughly, press together. Clean excess of of wing with mineral spirits.
If you ever remove the old wingwalks this will clean up readily.
