Use a big washer to cover the hole if you just want to hold it on good...

If it's cracked and you want to fix it, go to your local auto parts place and ask for a plastic repair epoxy... It hardens almost exactly like ATV plastic and will bond the two parts if you follow the directions properly.

Other than that, I'm not sure where.. But you can buy a plastic welding kit, It's almost like a soldering iron but it feeds plastic into the middle and bonds the two sides just like welding metal.

Hope that helps a touch..

Give Gorrilla Glue a try. Worked on my sisters bike. Also cut out some type of thick plastic and glue it under the fender. Drill out the whole. Put the screw back into the tubing and should give it better support
