You could try hot melt glue or a water-based contact cement to glue the foam directly to the door. Formica is pretty durable so if you wanted to remove the panels at a later time, the glue residue could probably be removed with paint thinner after scraping as much off as much glue as possible. The other alternative is gluing the foam to a thinner piece of wood like 1/4" plywood and hanging it from the top of the door with hooks. Double-sided foam tape would hold it snug against the door and prevent possible rattles between the panel and the door.

Hi there,
Spray glue does not work at all it will fall because of the cellualar structure of the foam. 3M 777 type.
I have found contact cement better but still problematic.The best solution is heavy foam double sided tape..or use a backer board like light plywood or 1/4" foam core poster board as a base( available at art supply shops etc.) and then use a water based mastic -like for ceramic wall tiles with a spreader - or a cartridge type construction adhesive to glue the panels to the backer board of choice.
You need something with body to it in order to creep into the cells and make it stick.. contact cement or spray adhesive fails at this.
Good Luck.
AJ, have you ever used spray adhesive like 3M #77 on acoustic foam? I have many times and it's very effective if you spray the back of the foam at least once, let it dry, then spray it again along with the substrate (in my case it was MDF) and it works fine. The OP wanted something that could be removed if desired and the 3M comes off with Goo Gone or plain old acetone. It's always recommended to try the stick on and removal parts on a similar substrate first to make sure it works.

You might consider relatively lightweight yet stiff hardboard rather than cardboard or plywood.
