This is sad to hear. So it appears the problem still hasn't been addressed and the 718 owners are going to have the same problems. Its crazy that Porsche can go on for years and various model designs and still not resolve these known issues.

My 2013 Boxster had tinted windows from the start, and the panels still de-laminated exactly like yours - tinting yours at this point likely won't make any difference with this issue. Mine also was almost never in the sun (garaged, and 38k miles in 8 yrs). It's more likely a heat problem than sun, but may also just be aging and poor glues/materialsMy driver's top panel has completely separated and sticks up in the air.
Before I saw this issue problem in this forum, I went to the dealer and after waiting, he said he would cover it because I have the extended warranty and I've been a customer for a long time.
This is my fourth Cayman, this one is 2014 CS and it has 23K miles. It sits in the sun so I can see it is exposed.
I thought the new composition of the plastic/rubber View attachment 275414
will not do this. My 2015 Mustang does not have plastic/rubber interior issues.
Tuesday, I will be tinting the windows. Maybe that will cut down the intense greenhouse effect. Southern California can be brutal in the summer. You can see that my door panel separation is extreme!
I had 3 new & I never had a problem with my 2006, but that was in a garage, my 2014 the headlights were replaced under warranty and no problem with the interior but all the windows & w/s were tinted & No garage in Fla.My 2013 Boxster had tinted windows from the start, and the panels still de-laminated exactly like yours - tinting yours at this point likely won't make any difference with this issue.

Pedro can do it.…Replacing a door panel can be BIG BUCKS! I don't know a workaround glue fix can help here because is involved with airbags! This might be a safety recall since the airbags are somehow involved.
We recently had record breaking temps here so I left the Porsche in the garage and drove my F150 to work (2018). It sat in the sun. It was so hot inside the truck that the parking tag (plastic) for work melted and fell off the rear view mirror. The label they had put on it (which was probably thermal print) turned completely black.My driver's top panel has completely separated and sticks up in the air.

In the case I cited I don't think adhesives even play a roll, rather the cheaper spec trim level just didn't get a thick enough spec. The higher trim is FAR thicker and pliable. The family fleet has 5 of them currently and the difference is very easy to see.The adhesives that Porsche is allowed to use in Germany are not very good. Ford can, and likely does, do better.
