How can I repair a refrigerator door shelf?

how do I fix a refrigerator door missing a shelf piece so I can utilize it. The piece is broken I've tried duct tape and gorilla glue that held up for a while I'm not really wanting to spend money on a new plastic piece for the refrigerator and I'm wondering if there's a way that I can do it myself I'm usually Miss MacGyver but I'm a little stumped on this one because I'm not sure if it will compromise the functionality of the refrigerator if I drill any holes in that door I'm basically wanting to still use the same shelf I'm wondering how I can fix it so it will be functional any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your time

    It is hard to say how the problem might be fixed if we cannot see how the piece is missing and what you have left to work with.

    Please post a picture so that we can see what the situation is.

    Acrylic solvent cement was originally designed for bonding acrylic together, it works on the majority of plastics used for refrigerator parts. Using the thumb and index finger, squeeze the bottle's sides until the cement level rises toward the bottle's top. Slightly release the pressure and a vacuum is formed that will prevent the cement from spilling when the bottle in tipped.

    Apply a thin bead of solvent cement directly into the crack. Capillary action will pull the cement into the crack. Allow the cement to dry for 30 minutes and repeat the process. Solvent cement fuses the plastic together through a chemical reaction, creating an extremely strong bond.
