If the parts you cracked are polypropelene SEM "problem plastic" repair is theee best and really the only thing that will hold long term . If its ABS plastic , the plastic weld epoxy you can get at ur local auto parts store is perfect and will make a permenant bond . The epoxy will work on polypropelene but the bond wont be that strong and will eventually re-break ....and thats the case with virtually all adhesives regarding poly no matter how buff they are .

Heres a link to the SEM stuff . Its a little pricey for the small things you need , but figured Id mention anyways . Good really for any F-body owner to have around as most of the panels in the car are polypropylene and these cars are getting old .

FYI , all the bezels( radio, vents , lock/window ect. ) in the interior including the door handle surrounds are ABS . The center console and top piece is also ABS . All the kick panels , sail panels , rear hatch trim , the panel on the side of the seat with the power seat switches are polypropylene .
