Or use a clear silicone sealant. Water-proof, clear, and holds up up UV very well.

Will silicone poison the plastic so clear coat won't stick? Silicone and most solvent based finishes don't play well with each other, I would try to avoid it and choose another adhesive.

'tis true.  silicone doesn't go well with anything.   care must be taken.

You'll definitely have to make sure you don't get it all over everything. Silicone doesn't harden so it works very well in vibration-prone environments.

 

The Oracle stuff is silicone based, not sure what exactly differentiates it from regular black RTV, but it comes with the same precautions (protect any surfaces to be coated later on).
