    Looking for advice or suggestions for repairing myself or take to an upholstery shop. My drivers door armrest vinyl is separating from underneath. I have no tears or see any signs of factory glue, adhesives, or hardware that kept it in place. Would like to repair to as near original condition. Thanks!

    If you want it perfect find a Shop and pay$$

    Myself I would have the Gorilla tape on all ready . Not really I would have let it fall off first and then lost it

    Trim pieces like that are often the first to go obsolete you might want to look at your Toyota dealer even to find a price.

    UPDATE: Had some free time today so I decided to tackle the armrest repair myself. Used gorilla glue so it would expand into the foam and some empty spaces. The strap holding it all together worked wonders for a single application. This should last me a year or two. 9B537160-6F00-47CE-8933-7060FAC3902E.jpgD5F51671-1AB6-4967-8C44-C68C16519F85.jpg4C3BDE56-F97D-458E-9EE5-C04367420025.jpg
