Well. The strangest thing happened when I got in my car.
When I opened the driver side door, the leather upholstry peeled off the top of the door panel and the only thing holding it was the armest.
WTF?
So, I had to get rubber retaining strips, the same stuff used for fastening screens on screen porches, and use that as a temporary fix to hold the upholstry in place until I can get it repaired.
Has this happened to anyone?

I've seen this mentioned on other forums. It sounds like it's more of a problem in the warmer, southern states. I've seen suggestions to reglue it but I haven't seen anyone say they have a definite fix.

Dang this Florida weather.
Yeah. I've done some searches on other similar forums and found some useful tips on how to fix it.

I've never had any problems with my car until this happened. It's ironic because it happened exactly 5 years after the day I first took delivery of it.
