The substrate underneath fails, anything short of recovering will be short lived. A few have had some brief luck trying to get adhesive on the backside (after taking the panel off) but I think it's a short lived fix.

Oh well. At least that gives me a winter project. Think a lay person could tackle it?

What, a repair or recover? Winter's 1/2 over, better get moving.
