Don't use screws or glue. Pop rivets.

Hello everyone.
Does anyone have  experience dealing with a detached portion of their rub 
rail?
Approximately  three feet of our rub rail detached from the hull when the 
hull slipped under  the edge of the finger pier during a storm, thus pulling 
the rub rail and its  screws out from the hull.
I tried using a commercial marine glue from Home  Depot. I glued the rub 
rail back and reinserted the screws into their  respective holes, but the 
tension in the rub rail pulled the screws right back  out and the rail remained 
detached. 
The rub rail sits lightly against the  hull at the affected area but 
getting it to glue into the exact proper  position is another matter.
Any advice you may have would be greatly  appreciated.
Thank you.
