Default climate control fix. what kind of glue?

So I bought these climate controls offline for like $12, and they are in
awesome shape. There are only minor problems with the unit. So I was
hoping to fix some of the problems before I put it into the dash to get worse.

One of the screw anchors that hold on the **** portion is broken.(shown
in the pics) I have the broken off parts as well. Also the part where the
screws go into to attach the unit to the dash is showing some cracks.
What kind of glue would you guys recommend to repair these things
with? Im only wanting to do this once to never touch the unit again.
Thanks for your help in advance. on to the pics...

i used gorilla glue and it works great. just make sure you clamp it and leave it over night.

Nice catch for only $12.

Epoxy may be your best bet. It has held up for a year now on my climate control.

you cant use super glue it will be too brittle. anything with a lot of strength has to be set for a period of time to cure. i used a really small c-clamp to clamp my screw hole back on. it might work. and gorilla glue is pretty thick, if you stick the piece on with glue and lay it flat it might stay in place.

I just went and picked up some Perma Poxy. Its the 5 min. plastic weld by permatex. I'll give this a try and see where it takes me. everyone wish me luck.
