Thought I'd give the wind deflector a wash - really shocked at the amount of gunk that came out.
Went to refit it and it seemed a little stiff, so rather than try again, I smacked the bugger (percussive maintenance) then realised it was in back to front. I've managed to break the two little fixed pegs on the bottom of the deflector.
The two little pegs haven't come off so I can probably fix them - but rather than experiment with different glues I thought I'd ask here if anyone knew which glue to use (or what type of plastic it is)

Glue for wind deflector
Personally I'd try an araldite 2 part epoxy type. It's probably ABS plastic.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Gorilla glue.
It's a two part epoxy and can come in transparent form.
Available on Amazon.

The two little pegs are very small, so they might just be there as some sort of locator.
Bostick do a two part superglue which seems to have held (so far)
