Cut you approximately 2''x 4'' frayed end pieces of matt glass. Fully wet them on a plastic surface and use them like tape. Run at least 3 layers on your edges. I don't have any pictures of when I did it on my Murc doors but the bonded very well.

Thanks Jets!

What about on the upper frame area, do you put any material (panel bond or dyna glass) in between the outer and inner door panels?  Or do you just lay material on the outside of the two panels clamped together?  ::scratch

Yes I did. I used a piece of steel on the upper section to keep my door sturdy and used 3m body panel adhesive to bond the outer shell to the steel as well as the inner shell to the steel. Also followed the edges up with glass because my gap was about 1/2”.

I haven't bonded my door skins, but for most things I've been using a windshield urethane adhesive which provides a permanent adhesion and stops any vibration or leaks. Then I back that up with fiberglass mat in a number of strategic locations (as appropriate). Between these two methods, it appears to be really solid.
