Door Interior Separating

My driverside door interior 'pleather' recently started to separate near where your elbow sits, I'm guessing because it either got wet or I sit my elbow there too much.

1) Can a upholestry place fix this cheap?
2) Where can I buy a new door interior? I need all four actually because they are starting to fade and are really sun beaten and easy to puncture.

Thanks!

This happened to my rear drivers side door. I tried to strech it back into place and glue it, but the results were horrible. Needless to say, I ended getting another one from the 4th gen classifieds.

You could get brand new ones, but even at wholesale, you would be looking at paying near $1000!!

You can fix this yourself. Just get some sheet vinyl or fabric of your choice. You might even be able to find sheet leather.

Then get some spray adhesive and you'll have a like-new door panel. If you post pics maybe me or someone else can tell you what to do.

You might be able to salvage the panels you have now. They seem to be dried. Use some Mother's leather cleaner and protectant. Put a few coats on the door panels and they wont be as hard and brittle anymore.
