    Chilly go by a body shop and ask them what they use. I know where I used to work we had a big truck body shop. They use a couple of different products for repairs those kinds of plastics most are a 2 part epoxy that use a special tool to mix the 2 as you apply. Or check with an automotive paint supply store, maybe Napa also.

    No pics til tomorrow afternoon. Boat at cabin.

    Jigflinger-- like the rivet idea. Hate the idea of drilling the pilot holes. SS eye hooks or small bolts would probably be ideal. Gonna use some wood working c clamps to hold together.

    I will get up with a body shop tomorrow.
    3M 5200 may be the my fix

    Yeah, it's 3M. Either 5200 or 7200. One of them is supposed to be permanent. But like WB said you will still need some other means of holding them together, just in case. After the 3M stuff sets up you can easily drill for the pop rivets. Get the ones with the big heads and the backing washers.
