Mine are coming off at the arm rest. Not bad and hardly noticeable unless you really look at it. I haven't worried to much about it yet.

Lou - you might also check with one of the used parts vendors for the door panels. They may have one in excellent condition for a better price. Or try that fix mentioned by Smoken1.

Seems like about double the price of what they would be worth (to me) - especially since apparently they employ the same failed vinyl process as far as I can tell. Wish they would release a set with upgraded material/process similar to the C6 upper panels which don't rely on "glue" to maintain those deep compound curves.

I was just going to pull it and re-glue it like it was originally, only using a better glue. I need to re-glue my headliner as well. Drilling holes just to get to the area seems a little extreme to me. And it doesn't look as smooth as I would like once finished.
3M glue, a little heat to make the vinyl pliable and presto.

I bet C Central will sell a ton of those..
With lots of C5 owners looking to buy regular fuel because premium to too expensive, I bet they wont be able to keep those panels in stock, and to think if you could afford to buy ten set of them, you could buy a C5.
