        I don't know for sure, but I would suspect the plastic is actually some ABS
variant, and as such, an ABS solvent and glue, sold in home improvment
stores like Home Depot and Lowes might be what you'd want to use. I would
recommend trying it on a unit you don't wish to risk. Perhaps you could
pick up a dead one off of eBay? And if you can get one, you might be better
off swapping shells.
