Default Does it normally clip on? I'd bet that some thick adhesive like caulk or such would work..
But I've never had the cover off..

Any industrial-type adhesive will suffice. I think I used something called Sikaflex (comes in a large tube- need a caulk gun). You'll also need several clamps to hold it together while drying. Good luck
