Default Anyone else have this problem????

Okay I drive a 97' coupe and the interior is pretty much mint, with the exception of the door panels. The material just above the armrest is bubbled out. If anyone have figured out a way to conquer this problem please let me know its drivin my nuts.

While I have not had the problem, I did have a similar problem with my daughters. I took a Hypodermic needle, put in some adhesive and injected it into the bubble then pressed it down easily with a wooden seam roller that works with wallpaper.
It's still not bubbling up and its been two years now.
Trouble is I can not recall the name of the adhesive I used

solution sounds like what I was going to try. I have the same exact bubbling problem on my 1997 C5...I need to get one of those seam rollers.
