Anybody Deal With This Problem--Headlight Cover
I was messing with my headlight trying to resolve a problem with it going up and down, and by the time I had that worked out, I realized I had another problem. The attachment strip on the underside of the headlight cover has started to separate. I was wondering if anyone has come up with a way to repair it. I think I can glass the baby back together, but thought I would see what you clever guys have done.

Epoxy = magic. Before I put any replacement covers in now, I add extra epoxy on all the joints. One time a cover actually flew off the car while i was driving, so now I try to reinforce it to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Epoxy is stronger than the material that the headlight cover is made with so you should be worry free afterwards.

The passenger one is usually the first to go, as people have a tendency to lean on it when working on the car. Don't EVER lean on the headlight covers.
Glue/epoxy can help, but there's nothing like brand new covers.

+1 to losing one on the interstate. Wasn't any traffic so I went back for it (I saw it on the road in the rear-view). I was able to back up with just enough time to look out the driver-side window and watch it get shattered by a truck w/ a boat on a trailer behind it. Got a new one off of ebay and made sure the ribs were reinforced with epoxy. Just make sure you use the correct epoxy. And, keep some extra for when you break your door handle
