Default Has any one's c-5 doors done this?

I thought it was just the heat but it seems that my leather is coming off the door,Very surprised. I have to find a shop and get someone take apart the door and reglue the leather.Has this happened to any one else?
This really SUCKS! The passenger side is worst then the driver side,But both needs to be fixed.Photos are in the photo Gallery,Still can't get them in the thread,Too big.

Default Well...

that does suck!
I guess it's from the car being LOWERED so much . Ya know, the humidity at that lower altitude, is much harsher on the adhesive that bonds leather to the doors.
True Story!

Yup, mine did the same thing on the driver's side arm rest. Luckily, it was still under warranty and the general took care of it.
And, no it's not an excuse to buy a new corvette...(how's that Classy, did that help?)
