I notice the headlight looked odd driving home today. Once home the headlight was sticking out more than normal so I thought the headlight retaining rod was bent. But on removal, the lens is separating from the plastic frame right at the rubber gasket.

Any idea which adhesive to use?

Not seen that before, JB weld?

Yeah, really odd. I just bought that lens frame new last year. I guess the warranty is over.

I've had the same problem on a 1 year old headlight last year.
I know at least 1 other french 993 owner in the same situation.

I have resolved it with a mix of super glue and neoprene adhesive.

I used JBWeld on mine and it's tight with no issues for 2 months.. I was thinking of using windshield glue as it's sticky/messy as hell! and is designed to take all the environmental abuse.. if the JBWeld doesn't hold.

I ended up using Loctite Stik'n Seal Outdoor Adhesive . It dries clear and rated for rubber and plastic to form a waterproof and weatherproof bond. Otherwise JB weld is usually my first choice.
