For planting out a pot of mixed lettuce from the supermarket it's OK.

It consists of panels of double skinned plastic extrusion glued into a
slot in an aluminium extrusion frame - and on one of the lid elements
this glue has failed. Can someone please make suggestions as what
glue would be suitable for this.


That depends upon the type of plastic, as the bond between that and the
adhesive is likely to be the weak point and different plastics have
different bond strengths to different adhesives. You might find an
aggressive double-sided adhesive tape, such as carpet fixing tape,
better than a glue.

try hot glue.

Or something in the mastic line.
