...my door pockets on my 93 Coupe are in pretty good shape, but they bow out just a bit in the center to the point where my arm rest falls inside if I put pressure on it. Anyone else deal with this? Is there a fix?

Never had the problem myself, but some companies do trimmed glassfibre (I think) versions to cure this.

Yes - it is both a common fault and bug for 911 owners.

It is caused (usually) by a crack around the screw where the pocket connects with the door handle.

Cheapest (and easiest) solution is to create a reinforced patch for that area using glue and a piece of plastic. Then drill a hole through that and with a washer and the original screw you should be OK for a few years.

Alternatively you can buy the replacement pockets and have them retrimmed in carpet. But that can be expensive.
