Tape works well!
No it doesn't! 99% of all the tapes out there fail after a couple of
years (at most) leaving a somewhat sticky residue behind. 5.25" (and 8")
floppies were rarely (if ever) assembled using adhesives - a thermal
welding process appears to be what was done.

You could try tetrahydofuran, as found in Vinyl Weld adhesive. Noxious
stuff, but it works on a lot of "difficult" plastics and you only need a
very small amount. I mostly use it for making custom ribbon cables.
