How to glue rear light lens?

Some of the outer lens has popped off or was peeled off (don't know why it has separated as bought it used) and moisture is getting in. How do I fix it?

It has separated along the red line:




The red arrows are pointing at the line of separation:

I would possibly try some decent glue presuming there is flex where you can push it together. If not a bead of black sealant would maybe work.

I have noticed on the BlackLines that the clear edge just attracts green moss which looks ghastly. The sealant would stop that being visible.

I applied some Gorilla glue along the edge. There was a bit of flex but not sure any of it went in as the glue isn't very runny. I'll apply an extra layer of glue tomorrow and hopefully it's going to stay sealed.
