Some of mine are broken/missing too. I've used a bit of Gorrilla superglue with luck but with the missing pieces, Im not sure how or what would work. Epoxy maybe?

Skip the fiberglass work, messy and good chance you might drip on the vinyl with the resin. There is a steel bracket that is supposed to be there as well. I would just JB weld that back onto the door panel or get some sheet metal and extend it further up so the steel bracket will have more surface area to grab onto.

Might not be worth salvaging.

But if you must, I think making a bracket would be easier than fiberglassing it.
