Ive swapped my mirrors for DTM ones, and so the holes in the plastic pieces up the corner of the windows are no longer needed. Am colour coding those parts anyway, so rather than getting ones from a car with leccy mirrors [cant find any in any local scrappers ] ive though of filling the holes.

Whats the best way to fill them? Use a pice of plastic glued over the hole, then fill it with fibreglass tissue and then fill the surface, or just use filler in it and then just sand to finish?

Don't use all filler, its too big an area and it will eventually crack and drop out with the banging of the door. I would use glass with a skim of P38 over the top.
