Yes, all you need to do is cut some flat stock and match it up to your hole. Then glue it on, use self tapping screws to hold overnight to cure remove screws and it's never coming off after that.

A guy that occasionally does some paint work for me is a body guy. I first saw him do this process on a Dodge Dakota pickup on the rear quarters.
He actually used an air seaming tool that provided a 3/8 or 1/2 recessed lip along the edge. He fit the panels inside this lip so that the sheet metal fit flush instead of gluing on top and over lapping. When you overlap you need to use a fair amount of filler to feather it out. Since his seams were flush after gluing, a minimal amount of filler was required to make the seam invisible....

I can say on how it held up.
But I don't see why it will not work on cab corners, they don't hold any weight.
However I am not a expert on this so take at your own risk. Mileage, performance, and results not guaranteed, I do not offer a warranty with this post. Hehe.
Maybe someone who has used this will pipe up on how long it lasted

As biased as my opinion may be, Ive had no problems from the ones that I have installed several years ago.

CUCVLOVER led me to this post and thanks very much for that. 82ABNMP what about the "seam sealer" since I'm a noob of epic proportions. I'm a retired CBRNE guy so we both probably went through Ft. McClellan during the good ole days. BTW, I think this post should be a sticky for us non-welding, got to get some body work done, types. Thanks for that post thought.

Hi kkcshipp, ah good ole Ft. McClellan!! Yeah, well all I have to say about that is thank God I only spent a few months there and hope I didn't come away with anything from the chem school.
As, far as the seam sealer, to my understanding is the panel bond adhesive acts as a sealer as well as glue. 2 for one! But extra seam sealer won't hurt.
