Any ideas on how I can repair these door panels or should I just take them to an interior/upholstery shop?

It might be better to take them to a shop. Unless you have a sprayer at home. The typical aerosol cans of spray adhesive don't work great for panels like that. Or I've never had good luck with them at least. I've done a few door panels on my own and had to take them to the shop to get them fixed because the adhesive didn't hold for long.

Yeah I tried the 3M spray adhesive but it only held for a few months

I recently ordered a can of vinyl cement that you apply with a brush but quickly realized it's incredibly difficult to get everything smooth and fitted properly.

I'm probably gonna find a shop to do it.

From what my interior guy told me, the stuff they used was more like the cement. He just ran it through a sprayer and it resulted in even application. I could never get the 3M on evenly for larger areas.

You can find these used on ebay or craigslist for cheap. Why bother with it?

I actually tried a cement. It was called vinyl cement to be exact but it was messy and hard to apply. I don't think I have the proper tools and experience to pull off this job by myself and make it look pretty lol

so i went and bought some used door panels that were all in great shape and now they're peeling too. looks like I'll be taking them to an interior shop and hopefully getting them fixed up properly
