For the past week, everytime i got in my TL and closed the door, I've heard this popping noise. It was pretty weird so once when i wasn't in a hurry, i decided to find out the culprit. Imagine my amazement when i realized that when I pulled the little handle for closing the door (by the window buttons), my interior door part seperated from the door at the center. its stuck on at the bottom and stuck by the top, but it seperates at the middle (the same area as the door clasp part (but it doesnt affect my door closing or anything). Its not really a problem, just a weird quirk that makes me feel like my car's coming apart. I'm all for the visceral feel of a car that has been worn and abused and driven with a vengeance, and i'm one of those wierdos who think that the TL's creakiness is comforting and mmakes the car feel alive...but i think i have to draw the line somewhere. Anyone else experiencing this? And DIY remedies?

Show a picture of what you mean- some people (myself included) had separation of the armrest on the door separating from the window switch panel, such that the underlying yellow foam was exposed. This happened to only one of my doors (pass. rear), and I repaired it with the equivaqlent of 'gorilla glue' and clamping the parts. If using this stuff, only use a very small amount.
