Get some testors 3502. Pop the window out. If it's super glued use several toothpicks at various angles between window and roof. Work slowly pushing on each one slightly and it will come out.
After the window is out soak it in some alcohol to get some age grime off it. Then use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean up the under side a little more.
After it dries brush on a thin coat of testors 3502 on the bottom. Give it 4 to 6 hours and brush another thin coat. Give it another 4 to 6 hours and do it again. Let it sit over night and hit it once with a thin coat in the morning. In the evening go check the body out. It shouldn't be brittle anymore. It will have some flex. If it seems brittle still you can repeat steps until you get what you need.
THIN COATS IS A MUST!!! I can't express that enough. If you go overboard you can turn the body into a puddle of mud.
You can use the 3502 to fix the pillars as well. If you have donor pillars, you can pre wet the pillar ends and where they go on the body. Let them sit 30 minutes. Pre wet again and put them in place. Leave over night and the plastic will be bonded like it came from the factory.
The testors 3502 will break down the plastic into liquid and then dry back up into new plastic. If you have extra material you can put a couple pieces in a glass bottle then cover with 3502. The next day you have filler material to use. Dry times are the killer. After a repair is made it takes a couple days before you can try and sand on it. The longer you can wait the better it is.
Play with a junk yard body to feel it out. You'll see by adding more or less testors when you break down material for filler you can get diffrent viscosity/density out of it for different applications. The thinner it is obviously the longer the dry time. What ever you do don't use it stringy. If it's stringy just add more testors to the bottle and let it sit. Best part is if it dries up just add testors you can just keep reusing it over and over. The "Goop" master is model murdering. He thought me about it. If you look into it and see anything by him it's worth reading.
