The same material as a lavatory seat

I'd weld it. But I don't know how to weld.

If the car is off the road take off bits, have a look, and see what the labels say.

Common plastics
ABS - welding large parts, solvent small parts
PP - welding
PS - solvent

For ABS MEK should work
Polystyrene, any common solvent type glue, something like Revell Contacta, or just use some MEK sparingly, Limolene works as well.
Polypropylene, no solvents

Heat welding requires the correct sticks and tools, ABS and PP can be welded.

Hot air is good, MEK is solvent welding.

Just use your current leader as hot air source and the correct welding rods.
