Cracked valenti tail light at the bottom

Hey guys,

So i purchased used valenti tail lights and and had them posted to me. Unfortunately the driver side tail light cracked during postage- at the very bottom where it's curved a piece came off. (I've attached pics)

Please let me know how can I fix it? Do you guys think it would be noticeable once its fixed? Wondering should I sell these and get another set.

Thanks!

Difficult to hold in place and set. A proper seal would not be a pretty fix. You dont want moisture collecting on the inner lens. Water spots, never dries, eventually not a clear lens.

If you already own them, try thin super glue. it might run in the crack and make the break much less noticeable. Do not forget about the seal to the backing.
