I use epoxy resin. I buy mine at Home Depot. Don't buy at Canadian Tire as they seem to always have old, expired glues that are all hardened up....trust me, lol.

The last time I had to use it in the car was when I cracked a piece of plastic while removing the center console to get to the head unit.

I would use two part epoxy as the other post recommended. I would mix it up and then apply with something thin and small like a paperclip.

Epoxy doesn't work on joints that fit precisely there isn't enough room for the glue. Super glue is the way to go.
