Re: Delaminarting / warping door panels...

It happens with the full leather as well, but it is not as noticeable.
Once the adhesive has lost it's "grabbing power" it starts to release the foam.
(Both leather and leatherette are mounted on a foam base which is them glued onto the panel).
When this foam has released, the leather which really isn't physically altered with differences in temps tends to stay put.
The leatherette will shrink and curl and pulls up the foam from the door frame so it becomes obvious.
Happy Porsche'ing,
Pedro
