One of the covers on the headlight washer has come off and I'm looking for suggestions on what's best?

I can see it's been glued before and having just come back from a skiing trip my guess is that ice has forced the join apart again.

Is Araldite enough or should I be buying a specialist bodywork adhesive?

TIA smile

Araldite is hard and could crack again. I think a strong more flexible adhesive would be better. I've seen ads for Gorilla glue which may be the thing.

Sikaflex aka Tigerseal would get my vote.

Is that the stuff used for spoilers and bodywork?

It can be used for that yes. I've used it for all sorts, from water leaks, panel seams, body panels, subwoofer wiring, etc.

It's messy stuff (what sealer isn't?) but I like it because its water and heatproof, and it sets HARD but doesn't go brittle.
