This might seem like an odd question - but why does everyone stick door vapour barriers to the door and not the back of the card itself?
It would make accessing everything in the door a lot easier - as you wouldn’t need to peel it off to access the winder mech, etc...

A lot of the door card doesn't really touch the door, so you'd just trap water between the membrane and the door, easier to seal the door and then put the card on.

Well the idea is it seals the holes in the door so if you don't seal round it it wont really work.

Not really a vapour barrier, more a water coming in around the window diverter barrier to feed it into the door and out the door drains, rather than inside the car inside the seals.
The joys of buying a car with warped hardboard door trims 'cos some previous bodge artist either didn't refit them, didn't put the relevant bits back inside the cutouts in the inner door panel, or didn't tape up the te4ars they put in it trying to peel it off the extremely sticky mastic most seemed to use and water soaked the board.

Same here, I stuck something similar around the opening then pressed on an oversized vapour barrier and knifed it round to match the profile. Saves you trying to make a template. |
