rx7 stock headlight fix

I have an issue where one of the dog ears where it attached to the black clips on the car is broken.

I want to know what is the best thing to use that can be found locally to bond the 2 pieces?

I would really appreciate someones help.

You can use J-B Weld on fiberglass. I think you'll have better luck just getting new headlight covers but that may help for a little while.

I also used jb weld to 'fix' my headlight covers. It's the cheapest solution you'll find.

I think he is talking about the square things on the actual headlights. When mine broke I used jbweld and it held up fine.
