the panels are pretty flat but mine took on the shape of the originals once i got them in place. i didn't have the seperation issue that some have mentioned except where ididn't de an effective enough job of crimping the frame onto the cardboard. the linkage bulge is unavoidable unless you can figure out how to flip the linkage and get it to rin in the channel.

got my door panels from grumpy's here in arizona and they fit perfectly.
