repairing subs

I have a 12" Rockford Fosgate Power hx2 sitting in my garage. I think i put it aside because the dustcap fell off of the sub. Well not fall off but everytime the bass hits i hear it rattle. Is there a way to glue it back or am i SOL.

Cone on a 12" woofer = approx 12"
Dust cap on a 12" woofer = approx 4-6" depeding on manufacture

The dust cap is the center cap of the woofer, usually has manufactures name on it.
