That is ABS then. Daves fix with MEK should work but be careful and practice on a junk part first, it can also destroy the part. ABS can typically be glued with an adhesive that is made for styrene (which is the "S" componant of ABS). Home Depot has a nice selection of epoxy products that should do the job.
Is there an easy and quick way to tell what type of plastic you are looking at or do you have to learn this by experience?
Theres generaly 2 kinds on our cars. ABS and Polypropylene. ABS is more brittle and "harder" than PP. Cluster bezels, grilles and most dash parts are ABS. Chances are, if you are trying to fix a crack in it, its ABS. The best way to fix it is using a solvent type "glue" to soften the ABS and let it weld itself together. It also works best for clean breaks that nest together tightly.
Polypro is used on ebody door panels and kick panels. Its very durable and seems a little gummy or waxy compared to ABS. its also very chemical resistant hense the reason its difficult to repair and paint.
