On the passenger side, where the arm rest is on the door. The leather in the center is pulling away a bit. I was wondering if anyone had this issue and if so how did you fix it?

I am thinking I will have to replace the panel.

 

My '06 is doing the same thing. I will let it get worse then have it repaired. I have a little luxury, in the fiurniture biz and can buy leather very cheap and have it cut and sewn.

Nobody has noticed but me. So it will stay this way.

 

Buy a used seat, or have an upholstery shop replace the damaged area. Either way I wouldnt pay nor more then 200 for the repair. You can also check to see dealer if they sell the lower seat leather, if they do and price is good you can replace it yourself

 

Can you post a pic of it? I don't have this issue, but i'm interested in seeing what is happening with it...

 

Yeah pictures will be helpful...

 

I had the same. Got it replaced under wty though.

 

Here is the picture. You can see the bubble where the leather is pulling away.

I do not have the original warranty the car has 60,000 miles and it's an 08', I did get an extended warranty though through the dealership but I don't think that will cover it. I would have to check.

 

What about buying a door panel from a junk yard?

 

Awesome idea, I didn't even think of that one. There is a pick-n-pull somewhere in this town too.

 

I think it is pulling away because the glue on the inside has gone bad. If the warranty doesn't work out, you can have any good interior shop to repair that. It should be an easy job for them.

 

It's an easy fix with the door panel off...heat , stretch, glue.

 

Mine did the same thing when new. Had it fixed under warranty.

 

It's not that hard to fix, take the door panel off and apply some spray adhesive. The stuff I use is the contact type you spray both sides wait until both sides become tacky then press them together. Work from the inside out.

WARNING! You will not be able to correct any mistakes once the two pieces come in contact they won't budge!
