 if its perspex it cant be repaired. just replace it. that stuff does tend to go that way when exposed to the elements. had the same in my old boat and i just replaced . easy enough to do , just make sure you cut the new ones out exactly the same as old ones using the old ones as templates.If drilling is required ,make sure its a sharp drill bit as perspex can break easily
