Sometimes just a simple soldering iron with the correct tip will do the job. I repaired a radiator shroud on the '97 K2500 I have with this technique.

This was my first thought actually, just to plastic weld it back together. But I was thinking how that section still needed movement and maybe welding it would restrict the movement of the flap making it useless. Maybe I stitch weld it and use silicon in between which will allow it to flex.
Thanks for the feedback.
