As repairs with adhesives go this is almost as easy as it gets. Two remarks:

The instructions say to remove the chin plate first, and later warn that you’ll need some glue or double-sided tape to put it back. Witrigs’ adhesive package does not include a strip for this, and I don’t think anyone sells one. I suspect it is possible to remove the back plate without removing the chin plate first.

Relatedly, the chin plate may deform pretty badly when you try to pry it off while the glue isn’t soft enough yet. Be patient with the heat gun and twice as patient with the hair dryer.
