[DeTomaso] Door cards.

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Just my opinion mind you, but I think it helps so I leave it in place.  
  If you don't, moisture can seep into the door panel (card) and  
destroy it faster than the door itself.  There are enough openings in  
the inner door frame that you'll plainly see the plastic is not  
creating a total seal on any one area, so moisture has a chance to  
evaporate.

However, if you leave the plastic off, moisture that seeps in from the  
outside will transition through those same openings to the interior  
panel door card.  And since the card is made of a fiberboard material,  
it -will- absorb the moisture, eventually warping and degrading your  
overall Pantera experience.

I'd leave them in place.  :)
