PC7 is good stuff too. More of a filler than glue though it will glue stuff together.
Good for boat hull repair.

JB Weld would be my first thought as well. I wonder if Gorilla Glue would work?

If all else fails mix some flour and water and use it as glue /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Forget trying to stick anything together with the glue. Just go for the big sniff. After a couple minutes you won't care about anything. Works for me. Waaaa hoooo... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've had good luck with jbweld on all but ruberized plastics.. and some vinyl's.. though abs, and PVC are fine.
PC7 or PC-11 is an epoxy past that is also fairly tacky with plastics, as well as a few epoxy sticks that are plastic menders.. especially the ones for car battery repair.. they stick to some slick plastics.
Roughing up the surface doesn't hrt either..
clean well with alcohol or other residue-less solvent.

The JB Weld worked out real well, the plastic and magnet are one. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Another question for you all, I put some plastic wrap on the bottom of teh magnet to prevent the cab top from being scratched by the metal to metal contact. Any suggestions for a plastic coating for the magnet that will wear better then thin plastic wrap, but will let the magnet hold the strobe in place?

Try Plasti-Dip, I think that is the name. Home Depot sells it, in the tool coral. It is used to dip tool handles in to replace the coating on plier handles, and I have used to put a rubber-like plastic coating on my file handles. I think it is about $6.00 a can. You can even thin it a little if you need to brush it on.
Edit:
I did a search for "plasti-dip" came up with this picture HERE

Better yet.. those companies that make the plastic dip and plasti-coat also make a spry application.. It's great for spraying the ends of closetmade shelving after cutting it with a bolt cutter. Sprays on decently thin.
My next choice would be appliance epoxy paint...
