Looking for some advice on how best to reattach the silver aluminum dash gauge bezel for the battery display gauge on a 2001 Corvette. I did a search on Corvette Central and found a reference for part number #395000, which is the complete bezel replacement set. I am not missing the battery / voltage gauge bezel, it just fell off and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way is to reattach it. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. 2001 overview of dash with battery bezel laying in front of the gas gauge bottom right. closer view of the battery bezel laying by the gas gauge.

That's it, and they attach with Super Glue.
When you take this challenge on, be very careful to treat the lens with extreme care and preparation. An unscratched and fingerprint-less lens is much more appealing and satisfying.
It's not a hard job at all. I used several clear sandwich bags that I labeled as I took off fasteners. Made re-assembly easier and much less stressful as some of the fasteners look very similar.

Good luck
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, including the sandwich bags to keep parts labeled for reassembly - smart.
Thank you for the tip on the gorilla super glue. Doing more research and have seen a couple of past OP's where liquid super glue dripped on the face of the gauge while trying to put the bezel in place. Looks like gel glue is the way to go. I'll be extra cautious to avoid drips from happening and turning one PIA project into a bigger project.
