OK,

        That sounds like more trouble and likely hood of damage.  My warp is pretty small.

This is on a door with an intact vapor barrier.  I think sometimes this happens when windows are down and rain happens. 

        It is slight so I don’t want to be too drastic. 

Thanks for the info.

Then, place on nice flat concrete surface, with addition of heavy bricks all across.  Let dry for several days.  Use quality spray adhesive, like 3M 777, to reattach vinyl to fiberboard.  This all takes time and effort.  I have never done it.  But it all makes sense to me.  Also, this is WHY there are plastic Vapor Barriers.  They appear flimsy but have a dramatic purpose.  Water is INTENDED to bypass rubber window scrapers but then effortlessly drain out of holes in bottom of door.  With compromised vinyl Vapor Barriers, those fiberboard panels are ready to suck up moisture.
