Default adhesion for plastics

a lot of aftermarket mirrors use long plastic straws and a regualr philips screw to mount them on a car... my qestion is what if one was to break... what should i use to hold the plastic long plastic straw back into place? Basicly what kind of adhesive works best in holding plastic together.. enough to with stand cold and hot weather...
