IP Bezel repair glue?

Does anybody know what kind of glue/epoxy/etc will stick to the plastic used in the the headlite switch 88-94 instrument panel bezel? I finally found one that has all the plastic in the studs used for mounting the headlite switch, but they are cracked. I've used several kinds of glue, putty, epoxy etc in the past but never found anything that will stick to it. I know you have to match the glue to the plastic, but thats about it. I know there's a code that will tell you what kind of plastic it is, but don't know where to find the code breakdown, and there's so many numbers cast into it I dont know which one to use either. A brand name would be great if anyone has it.

I'd still like to know the right stuff to repair that material with, but I had a flash of inspiration, since the whole post was still there, just cracked, I put 3 layers of heat shrink tubing on them, so far so good.

I like Fusor products. The down fall is you have to buy mixing tips and a dispensing gun to use any of their products. http://www.lord.com/products-and-sol...roduct.xml/314

3M makes Automix and Duramix. SEM also makes some adhesive.

Yea. There's no cheap way. Sometime the company’s will put a "kit" together, But even then your gona have to use quit a bit of products before it would be cost effective. These are what you will find in a bodyshop.
