Plastic weld, you can get it at most auto parts stores. It comes in a black syringe 2 part thingy. I have used it and the joint is stronger than the surrounding area. It works on most plastic but not on like ATV plastics.

If it floats its TPO type plastic.
So an adhesion promoter must be used before applying weld.
For jobs like this, Duramix and Fuzor have 15 second cartages.
Holding something for a minute while the product dries seems like days so the 15 second makes it easier.

Also super glue will stick but will let go in a day or two as it cannot withstand any UV and will break down.
