I vote for epoxy or JB Weld, depending on what type the plastic is. What's the harm in trying? If it holds, it holds. If not, you still have the $4k option...

They’re still working on it. The argument has been made, by me, that a whole door panel goes way beyond “trim” items.

Im sure it’s a full custom build for a new panel. I have very little alcantara and red deviated stitching.

I havent given up - but if it’s denied, I will definitely try to fix it long before a full replacement.

Thanks to all for the replies - helped with the responses to SA.

Got Porsche to Replace it. They generally agreed that the whole door panel goes beyond "trim." Very excited to not have a home-glued part on the GT3. Would have made it work, but this is much more preferable!! Again - thank you all for the thoughts - helped create a decent argument to get this done.
