Dear Guys
Please suggest me how to fix this FL Opel Blitz and which type of glue should use.

I take it you're talking about the windshield? Can you just push it back in place?

If you have to glue it, I recommend using white glue, also known as PVA glue. Here in the States, Elmer's is one brand. I do not recommend using cyanoacrylate (CA) glue, also known as super glue. As CA glue cures, the fumes it gives off can damage the clear part, etching it and producing fogging. Granted, this piece looks like it's open enough to allow air to flow, but I wouldn't want to risk it.

But if the clear piece is flexible enough, I would just try to pop it back into place, especially if that's how it was assembled in the first place. That is, is that piece glued in already, or is it popped in, and held in place by friction?

Prost!

Could it be that the windshield is too large? If you can pop it out, you might test fit and see if it needs a light sanding until it fits. Then use white glue to replace it. Use masking tape to hold the windshield in place until the glue dries.

Brad is so right about the CA glue...it can destroy a piece of clear plastic in seconds with fogging...

Thanks everybody. I'll try to repair by using white glue.
