It wouldn't be especially pretty, but PL300 should work quite well. Or a similar construction adhesive.
Having a similar issue installing styrene plastic drawer dividers in plastic storage bins, I used 2-part epoxy which has held up for a number of years with no issue.Also, not quite the same issue as the OP, but I have used hot glue to attach styrene into small plastic containers, and that seems to be working OK although I have not really tried to bang them out so I don't know how well the glue holds in tension).

Home Depot has it in stock so I added to my wife’s shopping list. Thank guys!

Mel,
From what I have read that is supposed to work on all Acetal plastic's which is what Poloxymethylene is. Delrin is the same made by Dupont. I have been meaning to try it...would You please let us know how it works?
I might try acrylic caulking compound. I used it to stick plastic flextrack ties down to a styrene viaduct with great success. You gotta clamp it til it sets, like overnight. It stays sorta flexible, so the bond won't fail when the polypropolyen flexs.

Dr. Mike's Model n Crafters ca is in a class by itself. I don't know about PP but a call to him should answer that. It's the only glue that I am aware of that will bond Delrin. The diaphragms on Walthers cars are Delrin and I use the glue to put on styrene rod to simulate a rib and make them look very nice.
