I think you could use CA if both surfaces are flat and in good contact with each other, but don't forget to prep it with some acetone because all injection molded plastic products have some kind of mold release still on the surface, like oil or soap. If its going to be a tougher job than CA can handle, I like to use JB Weld, good luck with it...

E6000 all the way!!! (If you have the time to let it cure)
E-6000 Series Industrial Strength Adhesives

Or rubber reinforced CA glue. But I use e6000 on everything I can,it's super strong.

Plane guys use that for gluing up canopies ^^ because it dries clear. So that stuff is really strong?

I haven't come across anything stronger that can be used on such a wide variety of material.
