Read the small print on the labels: Many grip adhesives will not properly glue polypropylene or polycarbonate type plastics. Think normal "no more nails" and gripfill is included in this. I had this issue when fixing my prikka strips- most stuff won't glue it or will glue it, but not strongly.
However, there are extra strong versions of no-nails which will (I know No-more-nails "all weather" exterior does specifically say it can do polycarbonate sheet, and takes 24hours to cure. Not sure about the other brands).
Tip: The bonding surface of the plastic sheet must be roughened down first with some sand paper to give a good key for the adhesive to stick to

Thanks ,
Had an idea this might be the case , just went to bnq - didnt pick out the extra strong stuff , was assuming spray on evostik contact adhesive might be posssible
I really can't see how glue for glass out of a tiny tube works btw , but they suckered me for some 'leather'glue for me size 9's
