Door Panel Delamination Question
Just curious, been a while since I have seen anything. Anyone have any new thoughts or ideas on repairing the delaminating door panels? I believe I have read most (if not all) of the posts relating to this problem but nothing that appears to be a best fix.

I have not seen anything new either. Of course an option is to get the door panels covered in either new vinyl or in leather.

The good news is that the C5 interior door panels are fairly easy to remove and re-install. There are Forum vendors who offer leather replacements however sometimes the cores are questionable quality. Best bet is to re-use your cores and have a local automotive interior shop take a look at them.
