Leather Dash Lifting Up...
Just noticed this today on our new-to-us 2018 GTS, and not really sure I would have picked it up before I purchased sight unseen, that the leather dash to the right of the drivers dashboard hump has come un-glued and lifting up. Visually you really don't notice it, but I went to dust something off of it and discovered it.
We've not even owned the car a month, not seen or mentioned by the dealership, out of Porsche warranty but purchased with an aftermarket warranty.
What to do? Thoughts and ideas?

Same thing happened to my 2018 GTS w/leather interior (in Florida) in the exact same location. I just got some spray upholstry adhesive, gave it a little spritz under the leather and put some weight on it to hold it down while the adhesive dried. Worked fine, no problem. If it's just a small area that's come loose you might want to mask off the leather to prevent any overspray...

I just never even thought about it. Live and learn.

Mine lifted from the back (closest to the seats) edge. It was easy to just lift it up a little more, spray under it with adhesive and then put it back down. I put some SCUBA weight bags on it overnight while the adhesive set. Problem gone!
