We'd like to be able to remove the panels without fear of damaging the plotted sheets.

Madison,
I'm stewing on the same matter, and I can think of a few options.
Perhaps the easiest way I can think of is to get a second strip of polycarbonate running along the top and bottom of each panel and make your printed panels a smidge larger on those sides. Fold over, attach with glue, join the two (or more) pieces of polycarbonate in some visually-pleasing manner, and you're done.
For the weight-paranoid, I imagine you could try similar tricks by just folding the paper over the polycarbonate and attaching. You'd still have a bit of paper vulnerable, and you'd have to figure out a way to keep the folded part from being ugly, but otherwise it could work.
