No recommendations except: use adhesive primer on the plastic before trying to glue or epoxy.

cracked panel

3m makes a 2-part bumper repair compound that is clear that can repair or even make a new tab even if your old one is completely missing. It works great i use it at my shop. I don't know the part # but you can buy it at a body shop supply house. Or check 3m website. Bob

Thank you for providing the part #, the 3M website is a forest, you pointed out which tree.
