because if its just pulling in and out, its just a clip that probably came out and you can like punch it to get it back in.

This is an EASY fix.
Remove your door panal - and place it on a table flipped over (to show the underside)
There is no screw holding this section in. All you need to do is use a little crazy glue and hold that section in for about 20 seconds.
I was very upset as well - as this same issue of the panal coming loose happened to my car. I took it off and it became clear as day what needed to be done.

I've got the same issue, heck alot of us have the same issue. Mine's probably worst then the pic, but I don't sweat it... One of these days when I have the door panel off for another reason, I'll get to it... It's purely cosmetic.

Mine was worse. The above post explains what I did to fix this... There is a screw/clip on the rear of this area, but for some reason - mine was loose and not fixable. I decided to crazy glue it from the inside and hold the outside (the loose section in) for about 20 sec... it is now fixed and you would never know that there was an earlier issue.

It sounds like some of yours may be a lot worse than mine was, so this might not work for you, but I just dropped a couple of drops of super glue into where I could see it was starting to come apart and it's holding strong. I didn't need to take the panel off like some people are suggesting.

I've been wanting to do this for a loooooooooong time, never got around to it.
The saggy armrest is very becoming of the 2nd GEN CL!
