I found some panels with no holes ... The vinyl was in bad shape but the core panel was almost OK ... Tht's what I was looking for ...
First of all, I removed the old vinyl.

Now, let's clean this 30 years old dust

Not that straight, but steam will cure that

Some repairs will be needed too

With a good steam iron I got the panel straight again

Yes.

Instead of the fiber panel forming the rolled edge at the top there is a metal piece that clips to the top of the panel. The metal piece is 2"-3" wide.
