Door Panel Cover is Separating

Looking at buying a CL550. Several I've looked at show signs of the door panel cover separating.
Is there a fix for this?

Crappy CL door panels

Imagine only fix is to remove door panel and go from there. I’m surprised there is so little response to your question as it seems to be a pretty common issue. Alternative is to go to eBay and buy used replacement panels.

If that's the case, the leather has to come off, new foam backing has to be glued in, and then the leather glued on top of that. Not rocket science but can be annoying/tedious. You'd think Mercedes would use more durable materials seeing how all their cars have the same foam/glue/headliner issues after a certain number of years.
