How did the factory go about gluing the bottom inner vinyl material to the =
inner door? So if you glue it tight there is a brace running up the middle =
that will show through, and also there would be a 90 degree ledge where it =
meets the horizontal wood middle support (below the upper vinyl covered pan=
el). I'm fairly certain there was no backing material on this piece of viny=
l from the factory.  My thought is to glue to the metal brace and glue a di=
stance away to create a nice transition. And the same method from the horiz=
ontal mid wood support which would leave some unglued void areas between th=
e vinyl and the inner door.

I do realize that adding some backing takes care of the issues,  but am int=
erested in how it was done originally.  I don't recall mine having any back=
ing, and my original vinyl is too stiff and pulled away to tell how it was =
done. Once I flattened out my originals,  they did make fantastic templates=
 to cut the new vinyl from.
TIA, Shawn
