Default Interiors out, what parts are crack prone? Have epoxy will reinforce

I've got almost the entire interior out of my 92 for stereo install, door hinge swap etc. While I have everything out are there certain pieces that could use a little reinforcement with epoxy/fiberglass to prevent breakage?

The driver's side panel, at the top and center seems to be an issue. Someone mentioned that it is beacause the underlying frame beneath is joined there. Sounds like it's very common. New replacements, if you can find are $950. Crazy.

I've been using stainless washers and Wurth plastic repair goo to reinforce/repair cracked and crack prone interior parts

Did some more reinforcement using this Wurth 2 part. This stuff is awesome. I also started incorporporating some nylon weave reinforcement as per Wurth web site instructions. I suppose fibre glass drywall tape will work as well. I also embedded some stainless washers on the cracked tabs to distribute the pressure from the screws so I don't just crack the repaired pieces again
