Default Front door panel mold repair

I just noticed thin a 3" - long crack or cut on the left front top door panel mold close to the dash when the door is closed. Rather than pay the cost of replacing the panel is there a way to have it repaired? Thanks.

Is this the door card itself, or the molding that seals the door when it's closed to prevent rain from coming in?

Thank you very much. It is the mold that the driver's left arm would rest on if she or he had the window open and had their left arm resting while part of it was out the window. I'm not sure of the correct name for that paaded molded part. Thank you again.

Yes, that's the door card. Sometimes called the interior door skin.

You can try superglue, but you might want to stop by your dealer to ask if they know of an interior repair guy.

Might hasn't split, but it has a wear point from the PO's elbow.

My wife had similar damage, caused by the dealer during a dashboard repair. The dealership had someone repair it, nearly to like new condition.
