2 part epoxy would be the best. I have used it on several plastic pieces, works fantastic.

Yup, even JB weld would be okay. An auto paint store can sell you something for that specific kind of plastic, but they'll all do about the same thing.

They can't because it does not exist. The type of plastic that they are made from can not be glued. I had a buddy that is a plastics expert look at a panel I had cracked. We ended up making a patch to go on the back side and used silicone to hold it together.
