Leather letting loose from the glued foam.

I noticed the leather on driver's armrest (left and center console) as well as the side of the passenger seat is starting to let go from the foam. I suspect it's heat and age. Anyone else having this issue?

yes - and very quickly after that, it tears/splits
not sure what you can do about the loosening, but try to fix before it tears

Mine is torn, I plan on having it recovered by an upholstery shop.

I wonder if I took a syringe with the smallest needle possible and inject some glue through the leather, if that would work? I would hate to puncture the leather though.

My left/center armrest is looking a little wrinkly from my arm being on it. I was thinking of having a upholstery shop do mine as well. Id have them re do them with a thicker leather this time and make sure they glue them good.

Is the armrest covered by warranty?

Sometimes. Definitely the 50K warranty.
