Sh1tty. Only speaking from experience with other cars and not the G. Pull the door panel. On the back side you'll probably see where that individual panel is attached. Sometimes it is melted in place (like a weld) and you'd have to cut it off, sometimes attached with tabs and is easily removable. Take that panel off of the full door panel and re-stretch the leather and glue it in place. Then just put back together.

Or take it to an upholstery shop

As you can see what the heat can do to the car, it's over 100 degree of dry heat here. If car still under warranty they should cover it. Thank god my car is tinted.

+1 dealership...if warranty's out you could always hot glue it back and tuck the edges back in using a credit card or something.

you guys sure "heat" did that? If so, you can take it to a upholstery shop and they can re-glue everything back together and heat it up rid all the wrinkles.

1st, popping, crackling noise, notchy clutch, loose rear axle bolt, burning oil and crappy interior. starting to look like a Lemon.

Is your airconditioner broken? Whatever the cost it's "NOT" worth being
miserable with our current heat wave.

If it's hot enough to melt the glue in the inside of your car immagine what it's
doing to your paint! Buy a car cover and use it, that will save your car inside
and out. $175 is a small price to pay for always having a clean car and one
that will look great for years to come!
