Qtr Panel and Fender Light Lens's

any reccomendations on what type of glue/sealant that will dry clear to re glue the plastic red and orange lens's into the metal bezels?

Thanks

I used hot-melt glue - see the end of this post for details:

Be sure they are well cleaned before hand so the glue will stick. The glue gun worked great at applying it. Hardly any mess!

Just like a regular hot glue gun? Sounds like a good solution. Thanks

Yep, the clear stuff for hobbies and crafts. Heating the housings is important, as well as precision & quick action. Have the lenses where you can grab them right after filling the grooves with glue (but not with too much). Press them in and have a way to secure them after gluing, preferably in front of a fan to cool them quicker.
