I just noticed that my leather on my door panels is starting to separate at 4 different spots. I don't reside in a particularly hot climate, so really disappointing. Anyone else have this issue?

I have the same thing… Driver door only.
Crazy enough most of it settled down once cooled down. I had the door glass tinted which seems to help.
Warranty replacement would be great but… closest dealer is 6 hours away.
Door panel is $1180 🤷🏻‍♂️
I’m in New Orleans and it’s hot! lol

I noticed this last month on my vehicle, the vinyl had separated from the padding underneath the area where my elbow rests on the window ledge.

I thought about taking it to the service centre but eventually opted to prick the bubble with a small needle and push everything down firmly. It's an invisible mend and the blister has never reappeared. I suspect it's the same remedy that the service centre would apply, so you could just save yourself the trip and fix it yourself (y)

I think its more beneficial for the dealer to note that they have a quality control issue. Obviously, some folks live pretty far from the dealership so this is not convenient or possible for such a small issue. Hope your remedy permanently resolves the issue.

Hi @Jackattack13 I feel your pain. My truck is due back in for sticky door buttons, de-laminating door seals and a flaky infotainment system, but these are all well noted by Ineos. I'll be sure to mention the blistering vinyl at the same time.

I’m also in New Orleans and having the same issue. Were you able to get it fixed?
