I have had good luck with some plastic parts using Gorilla super glue.


In most cases, I would suggest super glue - Gorilla or otherwise. But many phone parts are made from Delrin® (Polyoxymethylene), which also happens to be one of the materials used to deliver super-glue as it does not stick to Delrin. I am not stating that this particular part is Delrin - but a great many friction and contactor parts are made from that material because of its self-lubricating and excellent insulating properties. Further to this, it naturally repels metallic dust and powder, such as could build up and arc.

JB Weld *does* stick to Delrin reasonably well, and has enough self-integrity to bridge and fill.
