It's very common for the skin to be glue or more often taped on.

The current generation of 3M double sided tape does a great job of fastening the skin to the frame.

Location: Missouri		The tape by 3M is called VHB, very high bond. I've seen test video of this stuff destroying what it was bonded to before the adhesive gave up. I didn't know 4 Star had started using this. My '98 was all welded side panels that interlocked.
