Didn't even add any fiberglass and it worked quite well to make them pretty strong.
For the door push pins I used metal washers to reinforce the holes as most were pulled through.

Finally around the window switches I found a 3d print which I was able to glue (maybe it was Jbweld) which made the door switch trim go on perfectly. If I can find some pictures I will add them.

Here is the 3d Print I used for both doors (just have to mirror for left side) . https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4325506

I printed the thingiverse model for @EuroFighter2003 and will be quite interested to hear how they work. If less than great, I might do my own version. There are some real gems on thingiverse, but you have to fight through a lot of 'unpolished' models (ahem) to find them. Time will tell which category these fall into. Thingiverse only has one side posted, so I mirrored the part on the printer so there is one for both sides.

Last week I would have killed for a set of those 3D printed switch surrounds! Not sure how I missed this post. Spent the last couple days fiberglassing, cutting and a dremel to fix mine! Post with pics to follow
All but one of my push pins on the driver door are missing. That's the next part to hunt down.

Edit: Looks like they are readily available. This is what I want, correct? https://944online.com/door-panel-clips/
I'm also interested to see how washers were used to reinforce. I planned to just use glass cloth.

Sorry just saw this!
So I just found some metal washers that fit the door clips perfectly and glued them on in the perfect spot which was a PITA with the amount of damage I had. Probably not the best way to do it but the resin in the shop had likely killed the last of my brain cells. Wish I had some pictures but I can't find any and I have no plans to ever take the doors apart again lol
