Roof Lifting Prattline


Hi all.
Just bought a 17.5ft. approx 1980Prattline.Towed about 500 kms.
without incident but I note the whole roof(whole roof) is
separated from whatever it was attached to. The roof is still in
one piece,no rips or splits and has just completely liftedbut is still fully attached to the van and looks normal until you inspect close.  It is riveted at 
 the back and front(vertical faces) of the van only and  I cant find
cross members it may have been attached to on the top of the van 
and there are no rivets or screws visible anywhere on the horizontal
 face of the roof. Was it glued ? And to what ?  Can anyone tell me
what to do now or does anyone know where I can get a drawing
of how they were constructed please ? I'm thinking of securing the
 roof flat again with stainless washers and stainless  metal type self
 tappers downwards through the roof- topped with Sicaflex but what
 are the scews going into ? Can anyone offfer any advice please ? 

Regards,

Jim-(Gold Coast )
