Door Panels
Any one have experience w/ the vinyl seperating from the door panel? I would appretiate any ideas for a fix. Ecklers has an after market arm rest, which is attached w/ an adhesive that could be placed over the seperating area. I would assume there would have to be a releif cut in the vinyl in order to use the arm rest. Here are acouple of pictures.

Yes, common problem that comes with age. Some members do install the aftermarket padded armrests and that will cover the area. I have the Vette Essentials armrests and like them, but there are others out there.
I have heard of potentially injecting an adhesive into the area where the vinyl has come loose, but not sure just how well that will really fix the separation problem and how it would look.
