The plastic lens on the front of the camera for the VF window has come loose and slides back and forth. Should be a simple fix, just a dab of glue and slide it back where it belongs. However I only have one shot at this (without making a mess) and wonder what type of glue to use?

Personally, I'd use contact cement. Whatever you do though, DO NOT use superglue. You know those crime scene tech shows that are all over TV these days, where they use superglue fumes to make fingerprints turn white? Well, that really happens, especially on glass. Takes acetone to get it off too, so you'd melt the plastic.

Edit: my second choice would be epoxy.
