I believe the best way to keep the door panels from curling up is to install a
thin sheet of plastic like the drop cloth style when painting in your house.
Just trim the sheet plastic slightly smaller than the door panel. Attach it
directly on the door using contact cement or super77. The plastic is thin
enough as to not interfere when attaching the door panels with the metal button
snaps 66 67 only? Anyway the plastic acts as a moisture barrier keeping the
panel from curling. It has worked for me. Hope this helps.
