Problem 2 - Leather in passenger door panel loose
 
The leather in the front passenger door panel has pulled loose a bit. How do I put the leather back properly into the door panel? Glue? Take it to professional auto upholsterer? The leather looks fine, it has simply pulled loose.

My Escape did the same thing, 3 of 4 doors. I took it to a shop and the glue that they used was awful and made the material basically shrivel up, it looked great for a week, but then started to look terrible, much worse then when I brought it in. After another attempt and more shriveling he suggested using cloth, he had some generic looking brown interior fabric that we used. It looks great again, and you would have no idea it didn't come out of the factory that way. Total spent $150, the only catch is I did some of the prep work, removing the panels from the car, peeling the old material off, and cleaning off the old glue. Pro, I was able to drop off the panels and still have my car, con was he knew that so it took like a week and a half.
