On mine, after several dry fits, it's become apparent that I'll need to use a little putty. My problem is that the seam is visible from the outside and the inside as well. I've never had a problem like that before.
Lightly sand both mating sides, leaving the residue, and apply liquid glue normally. The glue will melt the sanding dust and fill in the seam. Any seam that is left over is filled with gap filling superglue. I usually apply the glue with an old #11 blade so it goes exactly where I want it. Very little clean up is required, just a steady hand .
