It was just a small batch defect with the glue. One time thing.

Both of mine were replaced under warranty by the previous owner. My driver's side seems to be lifting now. I have removed the door panel and applied sound deadener, so I am afraid the dealer would see that and deny a warranty claim. Any thoughts?

Granted it was for ‘14 981 & not my ‘13 991 (I think the door cards are the same, aside from options?) but I was good-willed (no fee whatsoever) back in Sept/October timeframe & it took about 7-10 calendar days to arrive? Interestingly, no issues on the ‘13 but it’s full leather (I’ve heard that made a difference). Good luck! -Dom

I have a 2013 C2 and just noticed today that my passenger side door panel is separating. I’m one year out of warranty. Has anyone gotten good will from Porsche this far out of warranty for this problem? I plan on contacting the dealer to see if there’s anything that can be done with regards to good will but would like,to know if anyone else is in a similar situation.

Dealer has ordered a driver's side panel for me. Said it would covered under my cpo. But after reading these comments I'm thinking I should have asked them to replace the passenger side also, as a preventative measure. If it is caused by bad glue, it's just a matter of time before it comes apart too.
