Make a cardboard template to size then cut your plastic.
Mark with chalk where you want the wrap around.
You need a real good heat gun, not a cheapie.
Go to Grainger to get one of the better ones.
Work the heat back and forth not to long in one place or it will distort the plastic. work both sides of the plastic equally. It will slowly give way and you will be able to
shape it. After you have it fit with at least a 1/4 gap
on the sides and front which allows you to put rubber grommets between the console and plastic. To get the edges
of the plastic smooth wet sand the edge to a nice finish.
Now take a propane torch and lighty go around the edge to smooth out completely. Practice on some scrap first. It is really not hard to do.
See ya, Ken
