Take the heat gun and gently heat the top part and press it back against the back of the plate. then heat and push the bottom until it touched the top part. take your multi tool and gently cut through the top and bottom at the same time. remove the scrap and heat the top and bottom at the same time. when it looks wet its ready to shape

push the warm/soft top and bottom until it makes contact with the new plate installed in the foot well and brace until it cools
You can cut thin slivers and weld them in the seam
