Anyone recommend something. Attempted gorilla glue we had but no good.

I've had good results with this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evo-Stick-Impact-Adhesive-Strength/dp/B002NPTNIK/ref=sr_1_12?crid=2KQYW9U2W0GOT&dchild=1&keywords=contact+adhesive&qid=1614959532&sprefix=contact+ad%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-12

I glued my passenger mirror glass back onto the backing with it and its still holding firm.

I'd go for Araldite which is a 2 part epoxy :happy2:
Not sure if it'll be on prime tho?!!

Surprisingly the screwfix no nonsense glue is VERY tough! Make sure to use gloves though. Ive used it to fix various things around the house, inside and out. Works well.

Ended up chancing my arm and buying a red ebay badge off a decent chap on ebay..

Not a direct fit, had to manipulate the holes but looks decent. They come with silver plates on the back so will look to trim or spray it black.
