The problem is there is a thin layer (3/16") of foam under the heavy vinyl that expands a lot with high heat. I had to redo my previous repair after the car sat out in the 100F heat all day last Thursday: the foam swelled up and popped my Gorilla Glue loose. I took an Exacto knife and removed 1/2" wide by 5" long strip of the foam from the top edge of the panel then glued the heavy vinyl back down. Seems to be holding up fine.
You can do that or go through the hassle of having the entire $650 door panel replaced.
