Loose bridge
This is a Martin 000-18 from 1971. I've had it for about 5 years now. Yesterday I noticed that the bridge is coming loose. Sorry the pic is not very good, but you can see a small gap below the bass side wing. It's less than 1/2 mm but if you put a piece of paper it goes in for about 5 mm. On the treble side there is a similar gap, but a lot smaller. The center of the bridge seems to be fine.
https://ibb.co/9mXnKxJ I know the proper way to fix this is remove bridge and reglue, but being such a small gap, I wondered if I could get away with filling it with glue. Or is it not a good idea? Thanks!!

Thanks Mirwa. That's what I thought, maybe the problem is that there is no glue in that area... and it might work.
