yes .

you may want to actually trim off some of the cracked bits , or warped areas , fit , then trim , fit, etc. when it looks good , get a pile of bungee chords , and some 3m high strength trim adhesive. you want it to suck on good front to back, and then pull on an angle towards the back , then straight corner to corner across the back. wait 24 hours, and viola...


hopefully.

I've done a few of these caps on E and B bodies and as wages suggests, use a good, quality contact adhesive and save the silicone to seal your bathtub.

The Palco interior panels are the ones everyone here on the board complains about being low quality and the wrong grain. I'll let you know when I finally install the set I bought  a couple years ago.....

Be careful about gluing it too much. It should only be glued on the edges and around the open holes. When the sun hits it and your windows are rolled up, that cheap plastic starts expanding and shrinking.
That's funny that yours has perforated speaker holes. Are they right over the original speakers? They look like they are too far too the center.      I have a cap where the CENTER SPEAKER is just perforated holes, but the outside speakers, I was able to cut the holes and install the 3 speaker grills.

I use the silicone that comes with the caps. I use those binder clips that you get at the office supply store or in your office's supply cabinet.
