Subject:plastic blower assembly fix

Hi there,
I just bought a '76 Vanagon and am getting her in shape for spring. It
needed a new front blower motor so I got right to it and tore the dash
and blower assembly out. Its all going good so far. I got the blower
assembly apart replacing the foam inside. Heater core tested good. The
only problem I have is that two of the plastic tabs that hold the
assembly to the van are broken off or cracked. Pictures on flicker

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a good way to fix this. I
bought some extra strength crazy glue (Permatex - ultra bond) but the
package says no good for polyethylene or polypropylene plastic. So now I
am wondering what kind of plastic I have here and if there might be a
better product to use.
Thanks for any help. I am eager to get on the road and am enjoying the
list - great resource.
