Plastics [of all sorts] are the by-product of crude oil distillation process. Over time, and UV exposure, plastics degrade. As they degrade, they gas of various chemical components, some of which are "oil like" and some which are "solvent like". Either substance breaks the bond of the glue used to hold them in place. Also, the "layer of contaminant" make a re-bond with fresh glue less likely.
So... finding a way to clean the "old plastic contaminated surface" to get a fresh bond joint becomes more difficult. Just my observation, from past attempts.
