Not sure why you're using poly and laminating, I would think a standard vinyl w/laminate would work better. Have you changed the laminate you use? Are you prepping the panels different?
I would try a matched vinyl/laminate.
Paper is usually cheaper. Plus there are some nice finishes available. I have some adhesive back satin paper that is really nice for temporary displays. But I have used vinyl without laminate too.
Seems like I would've noticed this...but I have never really paid attention to what the perforated window graphics look like from the inside. I have a client who has an interior trophy case with a glass front and back. The back is seen from inside an office. They want to give the office more...
Inside I'd probably use gatorfoam, if it needs an edge treatment I'd add some plastic trim/molding.Then it would be possible to hang using cleats with VHB & adhesive, with maybe a few screws for insurance
Oh, for the days when this was the big subject for debate! Back when I tried all the tricks. When I tried screws I used eye screws so I had a little handle to tighten. Seemed to slow it down but not completely. I have a feeling the lids are thinner like you said which could interfere. Me, I...

to make assembly simple. The frame is a little more problematic without a sheet metal bender. You can buy premade...
I use Gerber (3M) Flourescent vinyl. A primer is used when you are printing on anything other than white, so your color foil comes out correct. Usually the primer coat is white.
So when I'm printing on colored vinyl I will select primer on for all the colors except black, which I print a a...
In some of those photos the vinyl looks pockmarked, may just be the vinyl. I use Gerber fluorescents when printing, but it can still be tricky. I usually do a prime coat for everything except black, which I do a double hit on. Fred's suggestion of printing the Fluoro is a good idea.
