Default Repair cracked visor?

Here's the predicament I am in. My car is a 1992 Honda Accord EX. They DO NOT make ANY OEM accessory parts for my car anymore. Foglights, spoilers, visors, etc. are discontinued. I get most of my stuff from forums, like my JDM fogs. I paid $40 for a OEM moonroof visor for my car, and when I got it : It was cracked in half. Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Any kind of glue or anything I can use? Do you guys know any methods for joining cracked glass? It needs to be strong enough to endure rain, snow, high temperatures all kinds of weather. And it has to withstand highway speeds, as the visor will be deflecting all the wind from going inside the cabin. Here's a pic of it:



Thanks for any help

It's plastic, actually, not glass.

Personally, I wouldn't bother trying. It will never be as strong again. Get your money back from the person who sold it to you.

But if you want to try (or can't get your money back), start looking around for some really strong epoxies. I can't think of a specific brand, sorry.

IMO you don't need that thing. I had one on my 92, and it did not stop wind noise. Once you get up to 60-65 mph you still hear a lot of wind noise. You might say it allows you to keep the moonroof open a little when it's raining. But if you hit your brakes with water on top it will come in on you. Then after it stops raining you still can't open the roof because the wind can't blow it out from under the visor. I would try it without the visor for a while first. I don't plan on getting one of those stupid things for my new Accord.

I most likely won't get my money back. It's the chance you take when you buy stuff online from other people. I am going to try a clear epoxy, and see how it goes. Thanks.
