If its Lexan not much i no of, if its abs, plastic, something of that nature JB WELD really does a great job you can get it at wally world hardware stores. theres two types five min. and twenty four hour cure I'm sure you will probably get some other suggestions to good luck

For lexan you tape the inside on the cracks with masking tape and soak the tape with ca and let it dry, that should do the trick.(I got that out of rcca)

I put contact cement (not rubber cement) on the sticky side of strapping tape. Then put it across the crack. Then I fill in the rest of the cracks with the contact cement and around the edges of the tape. Let it dry overnight. Works everytime.
