How do you install the new plastic lenses in the instrument panel for the turn signal and brake light?

Looks like the factory melted the plastic to hold the lenses in. I bought replacement lenses and wondered if I should use super glue.

Personally I would trust hot melt glue over super glue in that application.

I didn't think about that. Good idea.

I would say no to super glue - it makes clear plastic cloudy.

I super glued mine in, and you're right. I wouldn't do it that way again. But if I did, I'd only use a tiny bit; like a pinhead amount.

My son-in-law Jeff is working on he car and may have joined the forum to ask the same question. I like the hot glue idea.
