What would be the best way to repair this? You might be able to see the area where the tail light would go is bashed in and won't stay when I push it back out. Right now it's too close to the light - wondering how I can get it back where it's supposed to be. I have another clip, but this is a t-top car and I can't get the upper moldings off to remove the clip.

Since there is a space between the visible body and the inner part, I would block it with something to push it out. Some kind of hard foam that won't degrade. Get it to the correct placement, then glass over the damage.

I guess I'll try my best to repair this clip since I have another one just in case.

What would be the correct product to use? This? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eve...em51933b68b3&vxp=mtr

That's the right stuff to use. That repair might be difficult for a beginner. You'll need to make bonding strips to reinforce the area behind the cracks. Mix a little chopped mat in the filler for anything structural (but not for the bonding strips). Grind anywhere you bond or fill with a 24 grit disc.
