Depending on the particular door panel (987/997 or 981/991) the failure is different and so is the fix.
I use aluminum reinforcement where needed and or high-temp epoxies and adhesives and also re-form the deformed OEM parts.
My repair does not compromise in any way the operation or safety of the airbag, but in my opinion, this is not a DIY job hence my not posting it here or on the DIY pages of my website.
Many people have attempted to fix (I've seen the remnants of botched jobs) these panels but generally they delaminate again or warp even worse in a few months, especially during the summer.
It's not an extremely difficult job, but it requires materials knowledge and some specialized tools, fasteners and adhesives to make it permanent and safe.
Happy Porsche'ing,
