Unhappy Can I temporarily repair a cracked fender flare until I can replace it?

Gorilla Glue probably won't do, but, is there an adhesive that I can use to repair a right front fender flare until I can replace it? (2009 LR3 in Alaskan White) I appreciate any helpful advice! Thanks so much!

picture?

my $.02
if you can get to it from behind, you should be able to glue on a thin mending support.
for plastics I use 2 part epoxy. jb weld second.
one of those and one of these


clean/ lightly sand underside of area. apply clamping pressure to the strap and glue.

jb weld works best for me on the exterior surface, to fill then sand smooth the cracked area. paint and done
