Duct tape, or just buy new glasses.

Gorilla Super Glue is a cyanoacrylate, of the classic hobbyist "super glue" family. They bond very well to polyamides like nylon and aramid (and natural proteins like keratin of skin/hair/wool/silk, woods, etc.), though the joint itself is brittle.
Check out Plastic Fusion from the Super Glue brand. Despite looking like an epoxy due to being sold in a two-part dispenser, it's a methyl methacrylate, which should bond well to many/most plastics.
Or maybe an epoxy formulated for use with plastics and a fast set.
Your shades are likely made of either nylon or acetate.
How about a review of that Flex Glue stuff from the makers of Flex Seal while you're at it
I bought Natives about 15 years ago and have warrantied them about about a half dozen times. $30 gets me a new pair whenever I need them. Can’t beat a no questions asked life time “warranty”.
I think gorilla super glue sucks and gravitate to krazy glue but now I realize I am over my head entirely. Mostly bonding kids toy parts.Quote:

Any problems with getting the warranty. I have a pair that had about 15 years that are in desperate need of repair. My warranty card said I need the original receipt which is long gone.Quote:
