Never did this but how about this idea ?
Remove the old one with some sawzall finesse. Use old one as a template on marine plywood. Cut that new one in half vertically. Install the two halfs and use (2) pcs of spacer wood with a small angle to it. Drive one pc of the spacer in upwards and the other pc downward to squeeze the two halfs in place. Then, use two pcs of scrap wood with epoxy along the back seam. Let kick. Remove (2) pcs of angled spacer wood. Cut exact spacers needed. Dry-fit, then epoxy in place.
Laminate, paint, carpet or fair and alwgrip etc ?
Might be a lesser evil then lifting the cap.
