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!

Not going to touch that one :-)
BUT, I did opt for repair as I had to have the car ready in the morning for NYC
trip.

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.

Did you thread the needle, and effect the conservative goal of repair instead
of replace via liberal use of glue?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Whilst replacing my speedo cable today, I managed to pull off the front plastic
faceplate with the 'Mercedes specila pulling tool' which I borrowed. No cracks
or breaks.
What type of glue would you use to replace it???
