U 280 Navigator tale lite

So look what I found on the ground - VERY THANKFUL ! Not cracked or broken... modeling hands by Mary  :))

Wh a t sealant, adhesive to put it back on for our trip sunday?

Left side has no sealant, right side does.

Did this fit into a gasket at one time?  I see no signs of mechanical attachment.

John,

That amber turn signal lens was originally "epoxied" in place when the OEM light assembly was new.  There have been several instances of Forum members losing that lens from one side or the other.  It starts to come loose, and if not caught in time eventually departs the coach.  You were very fortunate to have it happen when your coach was parked.

You may be able to reattach it with some kind of super adhesive, but I would have more confidence in a mechanical method.  When I found one of mine starting to lift, I used some small stainless bolts to tighten it back down.  My write-up below:
