Oh and also be careful taking the screen out, even after cutting the rubbers, the smallest amount of pressure cracked the screen..

This might help you. I used the JK repair profile and welding a patch onto it from the back, going over it a few times to build up thickness. Like this:

Then I could grind the profile in without grinding all the weld off and putting holes back in:
