Smart. I still have a gluey thumb print on my 300D's mirror from where I
touched it.
I think this thread has been punishing for everyone. Y'all drive safe now!

Super glue if you want to try, but personally I'd get a used cluster and
replace it.

glue liberally.

I agree with Andrew. Repairing vs. replacing is the proper conservative
practice.

Personally, I would try little dabs of Duco cement around the perimeter.

Tell us about duco cement.
This is a challenging repair due to the heat cycles in the life of an
instrument cluster.

I ended up using Permatex super glue gel. Worked great. We'll see how it
holds up.

No cracks
What type of glue would you use to replace it???
That's a thermally extreme environment, do not use lame glues.
Personally I'd reach for either Shoe Goo, or preferably JB Weld if
that would work. (Color, etc.) Cyanacrylate glues don't tend to
hold up long-term.

It's been around for many years.
It contains acetone and butyl acetate.
The front of the blister pack says:
The world-famous household cement.
