Any body else having this issue with the center of their door panels? In search of ideas/suggestions to fix this before it gets worse. It's the leather part at the bottom.

I can't really tell what I'm looking at but if it's the pleather insert on your door starting to separate from the door panel, I found a guy that sells piping and you just mash it in and so far it's kept mine from getting worse.

Yeah mine is at the bottom near where the handle part meets. Driver side isn't doing it and every time I look over at the passenger side door panel I can see it and it's bugging me. Car only has 46k on it....

Common concern unfortunately. The glue supporting the material dries out and the material comes off on its own

Looks good! How many feet did you need for both doors?

Yeah it's definitely annoying. Like I said the drivers side isn't doing it. And it is a 2010 with 46k on the clock.

Caused by humidity and lack luster adhesion from the factory.

Looking at finding an upholstery shop local to replace mine soon with suede.

The local upholstery shop I was referred to BUTCHERED the passenger side. I refused to pay, she got stuffy and said "well it's mine now then", I laughed and walked off. At least I didn't have to figure out how to fit it in the trashcan. It was beyond ruined.
