Bonding polyethylene

Greetings,

My Thule (Atlantis 2100) car roof box is damaged. It's got some significant cracks & the construction appears to be polyethylene. The unit is quite new and the cracks are from a handling accident and not from UV damage.

I don't think JB weld or the usual epoxies will work with this stuff but before I try & leave a residue to have to deal with later, does anyone know what works effectively bonding polyethylene?

Fiberglass?

If worse comes to worse I can get some thin aluminum plate and rivet it back together & seal it with silicone rubber but if there's a bonding method that is as strong as the original, that would definitely be better.

Thank you for your considerations,

Gary

For accuracy, I was just notified it is specifically made of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
