Mine's started to loft similar to yours, and I was just going to use some super glue to stick it back down. Dunno what'd happen if the airbag was to deploy though.

hmmm... might have to do a raid on my local Pug breakers

it's listed as a cover on service box - part number 8214 ek, at a mere £81.73 :lol:

it doesn't look like it could be stuck down, but I should try that first I suppose...

something similar has happened to one of my door cards too

the edge has peeled up and it's interfering with the window going up and down :(

I think somebody managed to get the airbag cover to sit down ok with contact adhesive but my D8's door trims were doing that and I tried with the impact adhesive but they never stayed put for long.

Oh, I see you have the "arterial spray" interior trim :cheesy:

Hi - My door card did the exact same thing and the window wouldnt go up or down easy - I used a scalpal and very steady hand and cut a slither off the edge and it works a treat - It cant be noticed and stuck it back down with V.Strong double sided tape . After warming it up with hairdryer first to let it sag back into shape

I was planning to fit a full leather interior, but the cloth seats are just so comfortable (and warm) and the looks have sort of grown on me too :lol:

ok, thanks for your advice guys - a few things for me to try there :wink:

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
