I'm currently using the thinnest masonite I could find. Don't use cardboard, humidity will eventually cause it to warp. That's the reason I'm replacing mine now. I'm also using 3M dual lock tape to secure the panel to the doors. Better than velcro. Found some on eBay. Hellovalot easier than using clips which I started to use and got into a nightmare trying to align them.
If your not wanting to do a whole lotta work then checkout these site.

They sell molded universal panels and all you do is get your fabric and cover them.. They too recommend using the 3M dual lock tape.
Take care.Keep on cuttin and gluein.. No needles required... ~robert
