Default c5 door panel issue

my material is in great shape but starting to work loose from its backing right in what i am going to call the "arm rest area" is there an easy fix....if i could just get betwwen the backing and the material without tearing them up it would just be a matter of a lil glue but thats not going to happen

Same here, I tried using a syringe with adhesive, no luck yet. I may need to try some stronger adhesive. The syringe did work nice though, cant ell I even injected it.

I would try an auto upholstery shop.

You could also get them recovered cheap. New panels are $600 + a piece.

Excessive heat is causing the glue to loosen, a car cover might help.

At least you can still fix yours, mine has a hole in it from my elbow, the plastic is cracked/gone under it too..
