I have the standard wrinkled interior door panels. Any ideas on how to remove the wrinkles?

Thanks
Randy

Warm the vinyl with a heat gun to soften it, then you can pull it slightly and re-glue it on the
backside of the panel.
Use some spring clamps and a couple sticks to clamp it overnight.

I did that with an old set of dart swinger door panels. I pulled the vinyl tight and used a hot glue gun to reglue them. Dries fast and holds tight unlike some of the upholstery adhesives I have used before.

For wrinkles more toward the middle I have wetted them and then put them in the direct very warm sunlight and have had luck with getting them to shrink back tight. But for the edges yes by all means restretch them and reglue behind the board. Good luck.
