Fix loose leather on door panel
The leather panel on my passenger door is starting to come loose at the top. The leather looks like it has a foam backing with some sort of adhesive affixed to it. I've been able to use a plastic wedge and push the leather back down, but it peels itself away after a few days. Anybody have any recommendations on an adhesive or tape solution? Anyone had the same problem?

What tape are you using? I tried packing tape which is the strongest adhesive tape Id like to put on the leather without any ill effects, but it comes loose, I also tried a Popsicle stick jammed into the space but it just came out.
i just ran painters blue tape along the seam, one piece followed the curve of the panel and i pressed it into the seam and the then i ran another piece right over the top just for good measure.
DAP Weldwood High Strength Spray Adhesive
My front door panels and one in the rear were coming loose on my 2003 G35 Coupe . I had it repaired by a "Professional". They used the Weldwood Spray Adhesive after taping off the areas with masking tape and newspaper. It seems to be holding. After watching them, I would do it myself if it comes loose again. Looks like Infinity blew the design since this happens so often. I asked my dealership about it and they referred me to a leather/vinyl repair guy.
I did it when I had the panels off while installing speakers. easier to mask and spray.
good luck!
