Door armrest/Steering wheel "peeling"...
#167
I have the exact same problem. See pic attached. Has anyone come up with a solution for this? I ride with my windows down a lot, and I suspect that contributes to it. I suppose I can just add some adhesive to the leather/foam and stick it back on, but that seems like a hack. Would appreciate any help with this.

Armrest peeling
Ok, I've read the posts...seems like more than a few people have problems with armrest paint chipping. When my car was in warranty, I asked about replacement and they said there was nothing they could do. Now my car is out of warranty. This is very frustrating, the car looks like a klunker from the inside. Any ideas, aftermarket parts, painting...anything?

I had mine replaced under warranty because they were garbage - especially the trim around the buttons on the steering wheel. Got a whole mew wheel and door trim that is still perfect. Much better material. Took lots of perseverance and visits to three dealers before they agreed. You may still have some luck despite warranty. The panels aren't expensive. It's the labour.
I have seen the door trim pieces (plastic that surrounds power window switches) on eBay from certain dealers in the US (I'm from canada) at very reasonable prices ($30?). There may be a DIY on it somewhere but I suspect it's pretty easy. Should be easy to see how to install once you remove the old part as you'll see where the clips are.
I have wood trim in my 2008 and it pealed right off the passenger door a month ago. Glue just let go. Infiniti in buffalo replaced it all free today. Toronto dealer would touch it for free despite Infiniti service bulletin.
Moral of story: nice car, crappy interior materials. Not sure if I'll buy another one. Good luck!

Search ebay seller "infinitipartsonline" or search for "Infiniti window switch door bezel". I just found 5 or 6 in grey or black right or left door.
Good luck.

Send a PM and I can forward links to the cheapest parts available- doesnt cost much. Sorry you weren't among those that got warranty service but to be expected considering model year. Great feeling though when you get the new parts, makes it feel like a new interior since those parts are always in view for the driver.

I searched from Canada on my iphone on eBay for "door bezel Infiniti":

Glad you had some success.
Just got my G back today after dealer replaced all door wood pieces. Looks new again. That makes for total repairs of:
1 hood sensor (causing alarm to go off)
2 rotors plained (due to bad pad retainer clip)
1 Entire steering wheel (peeling)
2 door switch bezels (peeling)
Wood trim on all four doors (glue let go)
All covered by Infiniti thank god. 77000 miles.
Now my navigation is out of whack. Keeps driving the icon off the road. Maybe an ecu reset?
