Question Repairing flimsy stock trunk liner?

Just got my IX a few weeks ago and while inspecting things a little closer, I found that the person that fiddled with the trunk lining last was a bit of a gorilla with getting it on and off. There are cracks in some parts of it and I'd like to repair them, but not sure what method would work best. It seems like fiberglass sheets soaked in some sort of hardening resin would work best but hopefully someone can give me a straight and positive answer here. I apologize if this has been answered before but I searched high and low to no avail. Thanks!

Whatever material Mitsubishi used is insanely cheap and breaks easier than a piece of stale bread.

I used some Super Glue on some parts and epoxy resin with fiberglass threads on the back on some of my parts in the trunk.

Thanks, exactly what I'm looking for. I wasn't sure if it'd bond to the material or not.

The plastic trim parts on the car are usually inexpensive - probably the same part #'s as a lancer. I'd just replace.
