Default Advice on fairing fix

I need some advice on how to fix an issue with my front fairing. For some reason, the areas where the front firing meets up with the side fairing and where the side insert meets up with the front fairing (see picture, items are circled in red) are all hosed up. It looks like the front fairing either got hot and warped, or something was laying on it for a long time and allowed it to change shape. I tried using a heat gun and stretching back into shape, but was not very successful. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not entirely convinced you can fix that.
Heatgun and patience may make it better, but the it seems to me that the plastic has shrunk as well in some areas. I don't think you stretch those back out again.

My best advise; get new fairings.
