You might need some tweezers to push down some of the rubber/plastic material that was squished upward on the armrest. Hopefully it lasts for awhile

I agree. I noticed that the material covering your speakers is a little on the darker side. I got ahold of a steam wand and a steam cleaner and cleaned 'em up real nice (all four). Comes out great - you should try it! Take the panel off the door first if you plan on it tho.

I'm confused....Where exactly did you put the glue? I heard that gorilla glue foams quite a bit, so wouldn't it have come gushing out of the two separated parts? I have some gorilla glue, but I'm waiting until spring to fix my passenger rear door.

P.S MAKE SURE THE GORILLA GLUE GLUES FOAM AND PLASTIC

Just a quick reply having fixed one of the door handles on my old (now my brother's) 00TL: if the Gorilla Glue foams out from the seam when drying, use an X-Acto knife to simply break away the excess glue- it worked really well when I did the repair > 2 years ago, and it still holds to this day.

XLNT!
I have the same issue on my 02 TL-S I thought I had fixed it with some hot glue but your holding / setting device is sweet and simple I'm well on my way to the same fix myself.
Thanks for the post.

Glad to hear it! I'm stoked to do mine once it's warm enough...that and the stupid triangular defrost vent on the left side of my steering wheel. Damn thing is popping out for whatever reason and won't stay down.

NIce, this has happened to the back right door of my car, im gonna try this out when i get a chance. Great write up

I did this repair to my rear, driver side door a few weeks ago and am waiting for the glue to cure on the front, driver's door, I thought I'd repeat what Slushyyy said, the glue only needs to be put on the foam (after you wet the foam with water).

Thanks SLushhYYY, i had a similar thought, but chose to work on the arm rest independently. I took the panel off, removed the armrest and also removed the plastic part with the ashtray and window switch. I used your wood idea (I wrapped a cloth around it though) and used 3 C-clamps to clamp the material directly to the plastic foundation of the armrest. I had already purchased Gorilla Glue, so I was glad to read your post and see that is what worked for you as well.
I started out looking a salvage yards for a replacement arm rest and of course, none would sell me the armrest separate from the door panel, AND all the armrests were as bad or worse than the one I had!
Thanks again

kill you till you die
No need for wood or anything. Just squirt the glue in and put the c-clamp on the door and the other end in the ashtray or the indention by the window switch...scrape off excess glue after it foams and you're done. you don't need a block if you don't tighten the c clamp enough to mutilate your door.

Thanks for the write up on this! I tried super glues without clamps or shower rod and failed miserably. Time to take a trip to the store to get some gorilla glue and snag the shower rod.
