Default Door panel problem - any ideas?

I noticed in my 1997 corvette the drivers side door right above the arm rest is seperating from the contour of the arm rest. Any ideas how to fix this??

The best fix you can do is to buy a set of arm rest covers. They are great for comfort while driving and cover up that issue.
