I guess it depends on how structural that part is.
Things i would consider
1. Flexseal tape. I've never used it. But if you don't need the seal to be structural and it's for short time, then just tape for waterproofing. Worth a try. Also gorilla tape is great
2. There's always plastic weld.
Someone here recommended https://www.plastex.net/COMPLETE_KITS.php
3. If structual, id want to adhere a support. I've repaired motorcycle fairing cracks. They are ABS plastic. Sand down the paint. Bond strips or squares of 1/8" thick abs to the crack using pipe cement. The pipe cement doesn't just act as a glue, it melts the plastic abs of the fairing and strips so they fuse together. Id be curious if the bronco tops reacted the same way. For more on this some Google searches should lead you there. You'll also come across "ABS slurry", that's basically it. Then just paint over the repair
The key i guess it's finding what bonds with that type of plastic. I'm fortunate i haven't needed to figure it out yet
Then lastly, there's always the mechanical fix with hardware, drilling holes,stitching it up. But i don't think you need that
