Default Interior Falling Apart!

My passenger armrest leather is no longer glued to the inner door. Did the heat cause this? Its starting on the driver side too! Any remedy?

Thanks all

My fathers '98 is doing this also. Very rarely parked in the sun, it's usually under the carport or in the garage. I was thinking a possible fix would be to put some superglue in a syringe and inject it into the offending areas and hold it until it dries?? May make a bigger mess than it's worth

Probably best to spend some money and have real leather ones done by an upholstery shop.
