I've not done this before so this is just my first guess. If you supported the outside edges with them face dowh and put a weight of some sort where you need to take the bow out, add heat a little at a time with a heat gun, could you get the bow out of the panel?
I have a couple to install in the 78. If they are bowed "in" at the center the goal will be to reverse that bowing.
What I'm thinking, is when I make Kydex holsters that is how I releave areas that are clamping to tight on the gun. It's easy to make slight changes in the kydex. The plastic in the door panel may work the same way.
