Help with interior door liner
The liner is starting to come off right by where you would rest your arm by the door handle. The stealership wanted an unreal amount (like $1700!!!!!) to replace both liners for each door. Anyone know of a good quick fix? I'll take pics when I get home.
Thanks in advance...

Same thing happening here, seems to be a common item. Some have placed an aftermarket arm rest to cover it. I've been tossing around the idea of using a syringe to inject some epoxy in there and seeing if that holds.

Not a bad idea. Let me know how it comes out.
Anyone have pics of an aftermarket armrest to cover this up?

Go to the Vette Essentials web site and look at their arm rest covers. I have a set and they work great. Top quality product and it will cover up the area you are having problems with.

my 97 had the same exact problem
it is a common issue with C5s.
I just kept looking for later model door panels , patience was a key .
they finally popped on Ebay , and were in great shape . I think $ 300 or $ 350 for the pair .
