Not all glues, even super glue, work with all plastic. The wire acts as a connector, similar to " sistering" a bad floor joist. The wire crosses the gap and reinforces it., perhaps like a butterfly bandage pulls both sides of a skin cut together. You can get inexpensive soldering irons from Hobby Lobby and put a screw in as a tip as shown in the plastic repair videos on YT. One of the best purchases I made was a digital soldering iron with adjustable temps. Perfect for electrical work, like fixing holiday light strings, repairing automotive wiring in my old E type.

Soldering guns are not expensive and you'll find other uses for them once you own one. Also, by the time you buy several types of glues and epoxies and find out that they don't work, you would be up to the cost of the soldering gun. Plus you'd probably be frustrated, pissed off and have made a mess of things. Take the advice of some of our experienced members

These 3rd hand devices are great for just this dilemma of yours, and hopefully, within your price point.

The wire does the same thing as the staples used in repairing bumper covers.
Think of it like Fiberglass?
You have the resin (or Plastic Glue) then you cover or soak the reinforcement with the resin. This creates a composite which is a lot stronger than just the resin or glue by itself.
