Cab light fix?

Shoot - clearing the 18" of snow off the '85 last week, just using a broom, knocked the lens off one of the cab roof lights. Lens didn't crack, base is intact, the light even works. So can I re-glue the lens to the base somehow?

Yeah, I know, they're ~30 years old and faded, and I can get a whole new set from LMC for sofa-change, but I wouldn't mind preserving this set, if it's not much hassle.

I would say yes. Use a good plastic epoxy and it SHOULD chemically weld them together. Autozone has a decent selection for 6-8 bucks.

You have to unscrew the factory ones off the truck and change the bulb from underneath the housing anyway, so gluing it should work.
