could you please answer in a less assholish tone.... when you said a crease in your door panel, i figured you meant on the metal, as in outside, not the inside, and yes they work to an extent.

He probably thought you meant OUTSIDE door panel...meaning the door itself...a crease in the metal...

I have it too, from where i used to rest my elbows. I just got leather panels and swapped them out.

There's really no way to pop them out.

I've seen a lot of Integras with that crease above the arm rest. One guy took the panel off, removed that pleather material, added a little fabric glue, heated it up, and flattened it, it worked pretty well.

what happens is that the plastic underneath cracks and therefore the leather stretches giving the wrinkled look. Take the door panel off and try to repair the crack.
