That's not removable part. Either you replace whole panel or glue it as well as you can.

Not a BM Trouble U, but you get the method on how to repair this.

babyduke...little bit of superglue on the underside of that loose piece and push it back in with a putty knife.Wipe glue excess asap.That should work pretty good.

It's about as annoying as how he insists it's spelled "PORSCHE" instead of Porsche, yet he adds a capital Q to quattro when technically it is all lower case letters.

Mine was doing the same thing. I shoved it in as hard as possible with a wide flat screw driver. It's stayed for over a year.

I could refer to it as a BMUU (BM double U) since most people on this forum call it that instead of Bay M Vay as most Germans would pronounce it.

At the the PORSCHE forums the owners know better to all it a Por Sha, and not a Porch.

As for LOTUS Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious.

cyanoacrylate adhesives aren't the best for leather. Even superglue makes a special version of superglue for leather (and wood).

Look for an adhesive that works on leather, put some on the back side of the leather (a small amount) and push the leather back in with a plastic putty knife.
