Alternative to cover the radio face... & speaker covers

[HawkeSHR]

Well I tried several times to fix my radio cover frame and it failed. Small cracks on both sides and broke. I tried acetone, a couple type of ABS plastic-compatible glues, etc. The frame kept breaking because the break spots were the weakest and thinnest points.

So I tried the fix we use for other items, NASA used it and it's name is a combination of the words "velour" and "crochet", (a.k.a. velcro). I roughed up the plastic under the velcro to help it bond a little better.

Here are my results. I'm not looking for perfection but just something to help keep rain off and also dust, etc. Trying to protect my rebuild investment and Peter's hard work

Revealing the "inside velcro attachment" to frame:

Question: Where can I get covers for the trunk mounted speakers? ~ Thanks!

I assume you couldn't buy a new radio cover? They may no longer be available, but I'm not sure. You'll have to find used speaker covers since they are no longer available. Won't hurt if you don't have them, I've never covered mine and didn't have any trouble.

The ones I've noticed for sale online the seller(s) want $100 for it. I was going to try to use the broken one as a pattern and make something out of plastics or metal but don't have time to dabble. The Velcro covers it and provides protection and that's all I need. Thanks for your feedback!
