Just wanted to post an update on my progress on the door repair. I guess if I had heard from Newell on the removal of the outer interior panel, I might have rethought my approach. I was able to save the bottom & hinge side plastic trim & lowe's had the same plastic that I destroyed for $6.
In the last 3 days I have fixed the bottom & the latch side. The top will be done tomorrow, & the hinge side Saturday, hopefully in one day.
Removing the original tape is quite a bit of work. I cut as much out as possible with the blade shown in the attached picture, and the remainder with what I think was a cutoff wheel, shown in the picture until it broke. It worked quite well, sometimes working both edges at the same time.

More to follow
