I was specifically talking about the JB putty that's like playdoh. Used it in several applications with great success. Even repaired a crack in an oil pan on a VW that was driven off-road and needed to be rescued.
What sort of glue/cement to use....

It seems to work well in some places and not others but they have come up with new stuff that I haven't tried. I like construction adhesive also since it is waterproof and semi flexible when it cures but really holds.

thx
Probably two part epoxy would work out well. Might have to stand there with a beer or two while it sets up. A large mouth vice grip clamp with some towels (or better a small piece of wood to distribute pressure) to not damage the plastic would be better. Just leave the door open. Clamp her. It does set pretty quick.

I have a 1976 F250 with an original vinyl bench seat. There were two splits in the driver butt area. I used GOOP on them and after two years the seats are just fine and you can barely see the GOOP at all. If it wasn't dark and only +17° I'd go out and take a picture for you!Hello.
what can i use to glue this back up? cement? gorilla glue? thx
It really IS great stuff!

Whatever you try, surface prep is key. Clean and abraded for a solid bond.

2.5’ 2x4 and a ratchet strap will hold in place while adhesive cures.

Gorilla glue came in last in a test of glues done on Utube. The more I use it, the more I don't like it. Double sided auto is strong and not messy. I use construction adhesive for a lot of things also.
