Many thanks for that. Foam removed and now the screw keeps the halves
together sufficiently for a couple of strips of black gaffer tape to create
a safer and semi-permanent seal. No need for glue.
John, I don't think the flash was dropped as the case is immaculate. More
likely somebody has attempted to split the case without much experience in
moulded snaps. I'm wary of these things after a few years repairing squirty
printers from C*non etc.
This thread has probably been a PITA to list members but thanks all you guys
for the help and advice, it was much appreciated.
John,
Sydney, Oz.

Thought I'd mention -- there's usually a strip of foam stuck to the inside
of the top cover, to keep things from rattling I guess. Anyway, you can rip
it off and the top will stay down better. For adhesive, try some black
silicone -- not as noticeable or permanent.
