This has worked its way loose. What is the best product to seal it back with?
Thanks in advance.

Think you'll find it's called Sikaflex, there was a couple of posts running a few weeks back.

Do a search and see what turns up.#

If you need more info come back.

Do you mean the shroud? If so then there are two wing-nuts holding it on. Difficult to get to and you'll often need to supplement with silicone on the top edge.

Yep its the outershroud that has worked its way loose just looks to me like it needs to be bonded back somehow.

Go in through the hatch in the inner wing. You'll find the two wing nuts towards the bottom. Depending on which lamp it is you may be able to get to one of these through the grill. It's got to be worth check tightening these before resorting to glue.

But it is only the top part that has come away from leaving a slight gap. Perhaps my descrption is poor.

No not at all. As these nuts tighten down they twist the shroud so that the top is squeezed in. It dosn't always work so many of them are supported with silicone. You describe the exact fault I and many others have suffered. In the end you may well need silicone. If your wing-nuts are loose then silicone won't hold for long. You need the shroud to be supported all round. This is a common fault. Invest in a copy of the bible then you'll see what I mean.
