Seems it is held in place by a rubber gasket which locks the glass in place as it is pushed into the groove of the plastic bezel. I have new seals on order but they will take several days to get in. Does anyone have some ideas for a temporary fix? I was thinking of using a silicon sealant (like a caulking for windows) of some sort to hold it in place. My concern is removing the glass once I get the new seal in and being able to clean the caulk from the plastic groove.

Any other ideas? The glass will not even pretend to stay in place right now so I cannot drive with only one light.

Thanks
Er, plasticine?
