Default Broken door panel

I have a door panel with a broken corner. A full square inch has broken off (which is also split), at the top and visible. The backside of the panel states that it is made of HCPP. I have read about and seen plastic repair online, but no mention of the type of plastic. A very important detail. Just saying 'plastic' is not good enough.

Has anyone here ever repaired a panel made of HCPP? If so, how? What did you use? Is it still holding together?

Thanks.

Not an option. Door panel is for a 97-01 with manual windows. Front door. Not an easy find. If i have to ill stick with power, but thats not what i want.

So what is the best fix for panels made of HCPP? Id like to skip the trial and error and fix it the first time, but i am not finding anything other than what it stands for. Can i use superglue? JB? Two part epoxy? Can this stuff be plastic welded?

Any experience with Black Bull, Plastex, or Q bond? Do they really work?
