How to: G35 Door upholstery fix.
Since the day I got my free G35 I've been thinking of different ways and reading different solutions for fixing the leather upholstery that peels off on our doors. I saw a post where a member used edge molding but after a few purchases nothing worked well at all. By accident I stumbled upon some interior trim on Amazon that I thought would work perfectly. Turns out that it does. I've included a link to the trim I purchased and posted a video if anyone is interested. Hope you find it useful.
Side note: I forgot to mention it in my video but the leather was peeled way farther back than what you see in the video. I used 3M spray adhesive to get it to the point you see in the video. For the life of me I could not get it any better without the trim I used.
The end result.

Even a "Caveman" can fix this peeling issue! All that's required is quick dry super glue and a toothpick for application! Pull the upholstery back carefully, apply the glue with a toothpick sparingly and return it to where it belongs. Not rocket science, superglue and a little patience is all that's required to fix this issue!

^Ah grasshopper you couldn't be more wrong. It's certainly not dry here maybe more so in far north Texas and summer heat is brutal. Our 05 started the door peeling at around 110K and was 6 years old at the time. The car was also garaged for 2/3 of it's life. I did the peel and re-glue procedure with a quality 3M adhesive very carefully and still had the top pull out from the plastic a bit. This trim senor Smurf used would make our panels look perfect hiding the slight pull away. Sadly the G is dead so no need to further fix the doors as she's being slowly parted out.
