Door panel fix??
So I remember reading about door panel separation and some sort of after market type stick on elbow rest or whatever you would call it, to cover up the ugly lifted part of the panel. What I'm wondering is if anyone has tried to "inject" some sort of glue into the separated part of the panel from the backside........er.....maybe?
I was thinking about giving it a go with say a syringe full of plastic glue? It needs to be something that sets pretty quick as I would think I could just massage the front of the panel where the issue is.
Mine is separating just above the rest and is about 1/2 in width. about 12 inches long.

That's a good write-up on the door delamination problem.
