I need to fix that plastic bit back on and it's by glue apprently. So needs to be waterproof and heat resistant 🤪

No.  They're snap clips, you push the agitator in and pull it forward to click it into place.  Yours is broken.  If it's been glued then someone has previously bodged it.

Mine takes these, I get through about a pack a year because my partner seemingly has a fetish for laundering hammers.  Your model may well be different but the idea is the same.

That looks an awful lot like it pushes in then shifts towards you, but the tabs have snapped off. That's going to take a battering, can you get a replacement? 

If not I'd go for something like CT-1, and make sure your prep is immaculate. I'd probably also key up the druml a bit with some emery paper.

 

Edit: What @cougar said using the proper words, basically.

That's exactly what's happened, yes.  They're made out of cheese*, I consider them a consumable.

(* - de brie everywhere...)

Yeah I think any kind of glue will just be temporary with all the water and detergent.

We're still talking about washing machine parts, yes?
