Tim, Chris has perfected this technique: -take off the panels -spray the back with a water bottle sprayer till nicely damp -lay the panel on clean, flat cement -lay some plywood over the panel -put something heavy on the plywood -let dry
I think that about does it. Cheers, Jeff

On the subject of these buckled door panels... anyone found a sure-fire method of flattening them back out (or bending 'em slightly the other way so they hug the door when clipped in place)? Mine are all slightly buckled, and the slider panel is rubbing on the rear wheel arch when I open the door.
