I used duraglass with bondo lite to finish it on my hatch. just make sure you have bare metal before putting any body filler on.

The best way is to not do it. Looks stupid anyway, keep it stock.

i was watching trucks like 2 weeks ago and they used some kinda glue, suppose to be bad as hell. no breaking or anything. they repaired the quarters on project s10k with it. after that, they sanded down the excess glue, threw some duraglass on it, some bondo and primer, looked good as new


forgot to add that I would get some sheet metal strips to glue in the tracks where the molding once sat
