cut holes out wherever it hits something on the door, patch that with fiberglass, and water proof the backside once it sits flush. or figure out whats hitting, make a pattern with paper, trace it on the wood and router out deep enough to clear.

what exactly is hitting?

How do you get the panel to stay on the door?

you can cut keyholes for the stock clips to slide into.
