I used Polyvance Plastifix to rebuild the bottom of the radio opening and knobs where it had been cut out. It also worked great on a cracked wiper switch stud, and a missing tab.

The steps for reconstructing a tab are shown in this vid




Their website has videos for other types of repairs. Pictures of mine below.

Studs are easy. Platifix can be applied in layers to reinforce these also.
