This stuff is a pretty good fit and is self adhesive
Not perfect though...The fit is tight on the sides and loose up top.

The HD foam made the fit so (too) easy, tight squeeze, perfect seal, no water and all but again.... not sure if the stuff will last years. I'm thinking NOT but we just never know
