Default Door Panel Crack On Armrest

Yesterday I noticed my door panel is cracked in the spot where my elbow rests. Has anyone had the issue and found a solution?

Yeaaa..I have a splitting crack near that area as well. It comes from my thigh pushing against the door panel in a place that has very thin plastic. You can maybe try taking the panel off and using some plastic welding compound or epoxy on the back to prevent the crack from growing.

Yea my drivers door panel also has the same crack. Now that thes cars are reaching 10 years old, you start to see the common problems.

This Is where the crack is on the drivers door panel, heard a few stories about the door panel cracking. Does anyone else have a similar issue?

Thanks. Looks like a failure due to heavy elbow pressure & time
