Upright side panel loose

[Paul Plumb]

Dear List,

I have a Weber piano - entry level model console, continental style that
the right side panel has come loose.  The piano is still under warranty -
that is not the problem.  I would like some advice on how to put this panel
back where it belongs.

The glue joint between the frame and panel separated absolutely clean - no
fibres pulled out of the panel.  There are no dowels or screws between the
frame and panel and since this is a polyester finish I can't see putting
screws through from the outside of the panel into the frame.  Where the
keybed attaches to the panel there are 3 screws that pulled out, along with
most of the wood fibre around the screws.  The only place the panel is
still attached is the block of wood that connects the panel to the bottom
board.

Is it necessary to use the same type of glue?  Would it be best to remove
the 3 screws at the keybed and start 3 new holes?  Are there any special
techniques to use while clamping to guarantee that the keybed is back where
it ought to be?  Just want to be sure before I glue this up.

Thanks in advance
