    Maybe, not sure though as I did not see a way to take the cover behing the keyboard when I changed my keyboard.

    I however would not try this as if a problem arises with the keyboard and it is found that it was due to that film melting due to heat (the GPU and CPU are right next to the left side of the keyboard on the XPS 17) then it could very well void that part of your warranty.
