Once they start cracking, there is really no fixing them.

JB Weld makes some decent plastic repair products.

The best stuff comes from weld-on.

Swing by Paragon Plastics retail outlet in Santa Ana and see if they can offer you a good product. Tell them Cal sent you by. Should be a short drive for you.

Sometimes people use fiberglass patching on the INSIDE and then fill the outside voids with something like a plastic glue and sand smooth.

Fiberglass is significantly harder than the plastic so if you use it on the outside it will not sand evenly and will be hard to smooth out. But using it inside will stop the cracking and greatly strengthen them.
 
The only way to fix them... is to sell them.
 
They are a thermo plastic, so you can heat weld them.

But as with all things plastic, once you repair them they will tend to rebreak near the same location.
