What's the definition of "broken"? Shards or simply a crack?

Generally, if it's just cracked into two or three large pieces one can
manage to patch back together as sounds like has been done elsewhere.

Just two pieces.

I've used some of the hydraulic setting cements (very fine powder, no
grit so makes a nice paste) or, in a pinch, even construction adhesive.

Good, I'm going up to take another look, but maybe it's really that
simple. Thanks.

Guessing in S CA somewhere, there likely is a roofer who specializes in
these that may have some suggestions for more permanent fixes.

Sure, if I can't fix it for under $20, but even then it's best if I
understand what some simple options might be, before talking to a pro.
