Door Upholstery

I have a 1996 Toyota Camry and the cloth trim on the inside of the door
is delaminating. This is the insert that the door handle goes on. Any
suggestions on repairing this. I was thinking of pulling the inserts
out and spraying with contact adhesive! Any clues?

For a more solid fix, how about trying to get the part from a car
breaker's yard -- or whatever they call them where you are. Your
improvised repair might be okay for (say) indoors but a car often
goes through fierce conditions, especially whilst unoccupied, and
the glue might fail soon.

3M makes an upholstery adhesive that is dynamite.
You're thinking of the good old days when nothing stuck. This stuff works.
