One of the tabs inside my fairing has broken off leaving the headlight a little loose. What sort of sticky product should I look for to fix it back in place? I don't think it is fibreglass, more like a plastic of some form, tried a glue gun and Marley Solvent Cement (both were in shed) and they have failed to secure it. Think I need to go a little more industrial and looks don't matter as it is hidden from view. Any sage advice gratefully recieved.

Dismisses option 1, as being caught in shed with pants down and a fairing in one hand may disturb family relations, option 2 may work however.

Edit
Options 3&4 look like preferred course of action, thank you
