Sorry to hear, but a necessary part of becoming a battle-tested E53 owner...Soon enough you'll be able to remove a door panel in 2 minutes in the dark.. 3 minutes if its a rear door with the optional sun shade in the door.

Replace the vapor barrier..unfortunately they are pricey...maybe you can find a used one, but the E53 vapor barriers are much thinner (poor quality) than E39 or E46

a bag of extra door clips are a good thing to have on hand as is some Butyl.
And be prepared to glue the black plastic that separates from the door with RTV - I use Ultra Black Gasket maker
