Hello mopardart72, have you fixed the problem of the water getting in? If you have or are going to I would just try to find the right sheet metal for it or fab your own and weld in. They use wood all the time on custom stuff so it would work I guess.

If you have your tray cover just trace that and add a little extra to fit.

If you don't have the tray cover get some cardboard and make a patern.

I don't know if this will work or not but mabby try doing it from the bottum. May be able to get to the cornes better. Then there is allways the old trim a little and test fit over and over till it fits.

Make your pattern in sections. You can have a section for each corner and work each into shape individually. Then, take a couple of bigger pieces of cardboard and shape the sections in between those you made for the corners. Tape them together in place, remove, and trace onto your plywood.

I made a pattern from cardboard.Went to the local glass shop and bought a piece of 1/8" plexiglass. Cut it to fit with a dremel tool,covered it with headliner material from upholstery shop.Turned out nice.

Sorry, I thought he was talking about the tray not the tray cover.
