Default Door Panel Separation

I have a 2008 Bullitt (black) and the leather on both door panels is starting to separate. Any suggestions on the best way to fix this issue? I could spray some adhesive but I don't want to make the situation any worse.

Hey I have dealt with this on My 2007 GT/CS ,drivers side first then passengers side.so here's my solution that is still holding 5 years later.1st, I verry carefully peeled the leather away from the pannel,leaving it attached around the arm rest.2nd I used a small scrub brush and wire brush to remove the old glue and backing from leather and door pannel. 3rd use a shop vacume and dry paint brush to clean out all the loose residues .this is where you want to double check on how clean you got it.if there's any left ,clean a little more.last use clear adhesive,I used a clear glue in a squeeze tube from auto section if wal mart.start closest to the center or arm rest.apply a little at a time and use a bondo spreader or credit card to gently smooth the leather and spread glue behind it.also a dry rag works well to. This type glue will give you some working time and that's why I picked it. Keep working your way to the perimeter and when you get to the edges use bondo spreader or credit card to tuck leather in the crack.after you finish let it dry a while and check for bubbles or humps and smooth them out.let it dry over night and you should be good.hope this helps! Good luck!
