daz05 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I've seen pictures of the top section move out on some of the US based groups online, I assume because of the heat from the sun. They are really easy to remove, just search on youtube and follow the guides, hopefully you can glue them back into position and refit. Replacements are not cheap.

So where the top of the door card is (where the window goes down) it looks like they have moved up?

dannyboyz4 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Has the door card been removed at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 In theory it shouldn't be possible because the panel is held in place by 4 screws, once they are removed you can then lift it up and off. If its moved while the screws in place then something must be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out, you need to take the door panel off. Re seal it/glue it. I have used Araldite. Much cheaper than taking it to Porsche for them to use worse adhesive...

So it turns out it’s a bit more than glueing. first if I statted glueing the leather back to the door card. Very poorly made and disappointing from Porsche, it seems they have stuck the leather to the door panel using a sticky back tape... so that was that sorted. unfortunately the plastic on the door card is very weak and has been warped by the sun. This would result in a. Brand new door card from Porsche. i have managed to come up with a way by strengthening the plastic and gradually bringing it back to how it should be. If anyone wants the number of the guy that helped me do it I will gladly supply as it’s saved me a fortune. Will post pictures once it’s all done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just wondering what will have caused this. Looking at some of the US forums it seems this type of thing was typical in California or Florida. Was your car kept outside through last summer? Just trying to think how to prevent!

Hi grenman, general consensus is that the heat has done this. It was kept outside and under a cover but not covered all the time. The sticky back tape peels very easy in the heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yes I suspected it was a heat issue, I wonder if all cars are susceptible or whether there were some dodgy glue/tape batches? I imagine they use a similar tequnique accross the models so you might expect similar issues in 911s, and more than likely in the Macan/Cayenne/Panamera.

I think it’s not exactly brilliant that a brand like Porsche uses double sided tape... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
