Being a different type of plastic,very few glues can be used.I tried different type of glues, but this was the only one that kept it together so far.Partition on my 35D was not separated but i could see that crack was started to develop and leaking water.Make sure you clean it with alcohol before applying the epoxy.I then sprayed black plastic paint on the epoxy joint and now it just looks like OEM part.

Also don't forget to use butyl tape to seal the joints between center and side sections.The factory applied foam is just not enough.I think there is SIB from bmw suggesting the use of butyl tape after removing the old foam.
I used an epoxy glue as well and yes i cleaned it with alcohol first to rid of grime. All three of my partitions were detached except for both end corners. I will post pictures later.
Got any pictures?
