        I am under the impression that the " Vapor " Barrier is there to keep the door panel

material Dry in the Event that H2O gets into the Door Somehow ( & it does ) ~ So why not

simply Coat the DoorPanel with a H2O Proofing Material, be it SelfStick or GluedOn Plastic

or some PaintOn or SprayOn Substance & never have to be bothered with it again ~

                                                                ORR ~ DeanB
