Boo. When I came home from work tonight I noticed that one of the grill sections has shifted. I definitely recommend to use some kind of adhesive in addition to the sticky tape that is on the mounting blocks.

Went to Wal-Mart last night and looked through their selection of glues. After a lot of debating I ended up selecting Loctite Stik'n Seal Extreme Conditions adhesive. I removed all the old mounting blocks and installed new ones. Put the Loctite in the shape of an X on the bottom of each mounting block. After doing that I put a bead of the Loctite on at least two sides of all of the mounting blocks until I had used the tube up. The grill is now sitting outside with the adhesive drying.
This type of Loctite is supposed to withstand temperatures of -58F to 248F. "Final bond withstands all conditions, both indoor and out" is printed on the back.
As soon as I have everything put back together I'll snap a few pics.

use gorilla glue and peel off the sticky piece on the zip tie blocks. I had to go back and fix my grill mod because the adhesive bottom part was NOT strong enough. Just giving everyone a heads up who plans on doing this.
