I'll tell you how to fix it if you won't tell _anyone_ else! The secret is to gently pull off the covered cardboard piece on the door panel, cut some slits in the vinyl under it where it will be hidden by the cardboard piece, glue the vinyl and reglue the cardboard piece. The slits will take the pressure off the (now) shrunken vinyl so it won't just pull right back out.

I watched all this done to my car right after I bought it (at PO's expense) and this was how it was done. After two years almost no problems at all!
