Subscribed. I'm having the same issues with both storage doors and my outside kitchen door. The inside material is all bubbled and delaminated and the doors are soft inside.

Once I noticed the water penetration I caulked the outside around all the edges. It didn't seem to help as the doors got worse. I can't see where the water is getting in them.
Instead of replacing the doors I'm considering trying to repair them. New doors won't match and I have several decals that cross them that I can't find to replace. I'm thinking of taking the outer trim ring off and trying to separate the outer skin from the rotted wood and then laminating it onto new pressure treated ply. Anyone done this before?
