I’m going to use a heat gun to shape some plexiglass to the body’s curve. Then trim the piece to fit. I’ll either use the 3m tape, epoxy, or instant adhesive to affix the replacement lens. I have a few projects to finish before I’ll get a chance to work on this though. I’m hoping to get to it in the next few days. Thanks for the suggestion, I wouldn’t have thought of 3M 200mp.
Be careful with cyanoacrylates - the fumes can fog up plexi as well as ruin the finish on the camera. For most plastics (especially the ABS of the grip cover), you'd also have to use a curing agent like Loctite 770 to get proper adhesion, all the while preventing the 770 from running all over the lens. I'd recommend the 200mp/468mp or 300mp, cut as a rectangle to fit inside the body slot, and with the center exposed. You could then clean the old glue, burnish on the cut-to-size tape, and stick the new "lens" on. The 300mp is actually thicker and might help fill any irregularities in your shaping of the piece.
I usually buy remnant chunks of all the MP tapes in bulk from companies. They die cut the tapes to fit the pieces they are making and throw away big chunks of the stuff. I have "trash" pieces that range from 16"x5" down to 6"x6" squares that I've picked up for $5-10 for a 1000 pieces. Occasionally, you'll see sign companies selling grab bags of these scraps on eBay for next to nothing. I also keep actual fresh rolls of the 200mp around and while it's expensive, it solves a lot of problems with "weathersealing" or loose items.
It's interesting how many H1-4 bodies have the red cover "lens" missing. I've even seen some H5 bodies with the clear lens missing. And every time I see one, I also see the remnants of glue that the factory used and it seems to have become brittle. I'd probably not use any liquid glue to put it back, unless it was a flexible acrylic (probably UV curable, like AA3942). But even then, curing the acrylic will produce fumes that can potentially fog or leave residue on something inside the grip (like the upper display cover). I'd use a thick 200mp as that is commonly used for glass displays on cell phones and clear LCD coverings on camera bodies. The flexibility helps it stay in place when the differing substrates change shape inconsistently at different temperatures (acrylic of the lens vs the ABS of the body).
