The automotive World has a number of panel adhesives (3M or Lord Fusor are two good brands) get one for metal to metal panel bonding and clamp or place the piece on something to support the ribs such that wieght of the deck forces the panels together until the adhesive sets. Maybe a couple of those large welding magnets with N-S orientation would provide enough clamping force.

Good luck,

Careful there sparky. Clamp it too tightly and you will crimple the outside of the deck. Better off leaving it as it sits and filling it.
