If you have a steady hand and a small brush then liquid cement can be run around the edge of the transparency. Otherwise I'd recommend PVA glue as this dries clear and will not harm the transparent parts.

Testors kristal klear works for me, dries up as it says kristal clear.
Hope this helps

I use Future/Klear/Kleer/Klir. It disappears completely after application and does not "attack" (or spoil) any material!

Elmer's glue does the trick. Just moisten the edges with glue and snap it on.

I've tried Testors clear parts cement, but my windows just fell out when I touched them; I just use liquid cement

Watch crystal cement always works for me, and I do 1/160 train windows.
