I sewed the velcro to the fabric on mine. I haven't had any trouble with the velcro and vinyl separating.
I have had a few issues because the velcro-velcro attachment is approximately as strong as the attachment of the panel's surface to the panel's foam: if I pull too hard/quickly I sometimes end up tearing the surface off the panel along with both sides of the velcro. I haven't yet figured out a solution for this. Using thinner/weaker velcro might be a good idea. Or finding some mechanical anchors to affix the velcro to the foamboard.
