You're link doesn't seem to be working, but... The plastic inside of every car door is a vapor barrier. It helps to keep moisture from corroding your switches and other wiring in the door. I've found that they also reduce fog inside of your windows. Older cars always rip when you take them off, but on the newer ones, if you grab it tightly and pull in short bursts, they usually come off intact. Hope this helps.
