I have had many of those plastic detergent-dispensing dishwashing
brushes over the years but they all have a defect: the top which you
remove to put in the detergent won't stay on. I don't need the
detergent-dispensing function but I do like the large round ball in my
hand so how can I fix permanently the dispenser top to the body?
Solutions can't include metal such as pop rivets or screws because
they'll likely tear the gloves. And any glue must withstand
near-boiling water.
I've tried heating the body to melting point with gas and then jamming
on the top but it doesn't work very well. I'm considering a soldering
iron poking a dimple.
If anyone has already solved this I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Nope, pop rivets wont.

Hot melt glue will survive that fine.

I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know how it would work.
