Default repairing interior panels?

I have an 86 SS with t-tops. I am wondering what the best way to repair rthe cracked or broken plastic interior panels is? Is there a good kit for doing this or does someone have a great way to repair them? I do not want to go out and buy all new pieces, if I don't have to. Any help would be appreciated.

I've done plastic repair with fiberglass mesh and resin, and a bit of filler. I use Evercoat Z-grip for filler because, to me, it's easy to apply, forgiving and easier to sand than regular bondo (again it's MY preference, others may disagree). There are other methods like using cardboard and glue or resin. You have a myriad ways to do the repairs and make it look good.

Thanks for the reply. I thought of the resin thing after I posted this. I ended up getting an entire interior out of a junk yard car yesterday. Some of the pieces have cracks but aren't as bad as the old stuff I had. I will be fixing all of it and selling off what I don't need.
