My idea was to use watered down PVA wood glue, so that it soaks into the fibre of the door card, then hardens in shape? Don't know if it will work, but thats my plan anyway!

You mean it keeps popping out the clips in the bottom?
I just pulled the clips out of shape and bent them back good and tight with a pair of pliers on mine and it's been no problem
