Door armrest pad fix
The cover on one armrest pad was coming loose on the hinge side, making it hard to open. Because a new replacement is not available without the whole door panel ($700+), I decided to proactively repair the damage before it failed.
It comes out with four screws. I used pony clamps and white Gorilla Glue to re-seal the loose edge. It's also a good time to consider replacing foam if yours is shot.
Here are some visual aids.

I did something similar on console lids in both my Vette and T-Bird.
How's the Gorilla glue holding up? I'm not 100% satisfied with the stuff I used and am willing to redo them when needed with something better.
Thanks

I will use Gorilla Glue when I - eventually - redo the dash pad that's curling up near the windshield.
