Default Door Panel

Inside curve on both my armrests are forming a line that pops outward. Like the vinyl is forming a crease that folds popping outward. Anyone know a proper fix?

My guess is you're experiencing a delamination of the vinyl from the door panel. You could always purchase and install one of the padded armrests that a number of the forum vendors sell, or try fixing the panel as described in the attached files.

Maybe some of us aren't as cool as you, so you want to explain your response to me? I don't get it, or maybe I'm not on the same drugs you are. Two posts on here and I already don't like you.

Like there will never be a problem with a car that is at least 12 up to 20 years old. Sorry I seen the comment as childish and responded in kind.
