For the area around the window switches, once it is cleaned of loose pieces, a 1/8 thick piece of tempered masonite can be glued on the back of the door panel with the appropriate hole for the switch cut out beforehand. Make the overall piece 1" bigger in both directions to give you 1/2" all round for gluing area. But, replacing the entire bottom half of the panel with masonite (only use tempered; the soft stuff will absorb water). Joining the top part to the new masonite can be done with thin sheet metal and pop rivets. Then glue the vinyl skin back in place as well as the little fasteners. Not too bad a job. Install new plastic sheet to prevent future damage. Tape it tight with duct or aluminum tape (I prefer the aluminum)
