This is a good thread cuz im pretty sure my front driver side one is gona get to that point eventually if i do use the arm rest over time or whatever. If mine gets to that point, im thinking that maybe the best shit to use on that to hold it back together the way it should be is by using some APOXY. My dad's an aircraft mechanic and he can bring home that shit from work any day. My dad's used it before for different things and APOXY (if some of you dont really know what it is) is like super glue but to the 30th Degree. Its strong as fuck once it drys up. Idk, APOXY is just an idea but i believe itd work like majic for this problem. Just my

The problem is the foam part. not many things stick to the foam,i wonder what kind of stuff the factory used in the first place to get it to stick. IS APOXY the stuff that comes in two seperate tubes and you have to mix it together?

Same thing is happening on mine. So far I believe it is only the rear passenger side one.

Yeah, APOXY i believe does come in like two seperate tubes that are like stuck together if im right. But yeah, i think it would work. Idk. Its worth a try if nuthin else is workin for ya. On my way home from class today i took a look at mine and it looks like all of them are slighty starting to look like that, but not near as horrible as the ones in the pics look up top there. Mine will eventually get that bad but until they do im not gona mess with it just yet.

Not to get too picky but I think the word is EPOXY and you can find severaly types at your local hardware store.

Try a hot glue gun. It sticks pretty well to stuff, but just make sure not to melt or burn anything with the tip.
