composite of rear window molding

Forgive me if this is the wrong place... I also posted somwhere else but not sure where this should be.

Im a newbie to the forum. I bought a 2003 supercrew and the back window molding (trim piece) is broken. I removed the glass and the trim and discovered the plastic pieces where the bolts are have broken. I think I can use epoxy and fix it but would like to know what kind of plastic composite they have used to make this molding. Does anyone know???
Yes, I should buy a new one for $397 + tax but Id love to save that and dont mind the challange of trying to make a repair job work like new!

OH Yeah... I hope I can also fix the leak in the back window/third light/molding!!! What a design! Thanks to all the help here though, its not such a bad job just a pain.

Thanks

found answer:
Geloy (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene blend)

Now I can find the right epoxy and fix the broken trim bolts instead of forking over $400 at the dealership!

Welcome to the site and good luck with that repair.

Just FYI, I removed the other post to eliminate confusion.
