<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Sure. Why Not?
Sticking together two pieces of plastic is easy with the right kind of glue or tape. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle and much less expensive than buying a replacement part. Simply fit the pieces together and attach them, either by lining the edges with glue or putting translucent tape on the inside.
On the Other: Easy Isn't Better
Though these fixes are quick and inexpensive, they do alter the way light moves through the reflector. This can compromise how well your reflector does its job, meaning that your vehicle will be less safe. Also, some states have laws governing the legality of repaired reflectors.
Bottom Line
Check your work. Once you've made the repair, use your reflector and see if it handles light in a way that still improves your visibility. If not, your repair only cost you a few cents and you can head out for the replacement part no worse for the experience. Make sure that your repaired reflector is legal in your area.
