    What causes this...any cure?

    What causes molded door panels to do this, and is there a fix for it? This is only on the driver side...

    Mine are doing the same thing. I figure it's just from the glue letting go due to age and wear... unable to say if there is a fix for it, but interested if there is!

      It's caused by the vinyl shrinking at different rates. Heating it with a heat gun GENTLY might alleviate them. Start with low heat and fr away and slowly move inward. A hair dryer on high might work if you don't have a heat gun.
