Any suggestions on what if anything I can do to repair this? It is original (not to my car) and the other 3 are great driver quality i would prefer not to get a repop.

I'd glue the flap and use a band saw to cut just enough off the top so the rest is hidden under the stainless trim. Looks like about 3/16 and should allow the crank handle hole and armrest screws to still work as is.

I just did this with “decent” results. I used a 1-component moisture cure polyurethane and some hardware store wood clamps. I think you could soften the vinyl VERY CAREFULLY with a heat gun (???)

Ok I will take some measurements and see after I try PurpleBeepers advice and try and glue and soften the vinyl!
What moisture cure poly did you use? Do you have post work pictures?

Found a repair might not look oe but it is good enough for who it's for, this panel is behind the drivers seat anyways but thought I would show you what I found and came up with (ignore my gut in the first photo)
After having it clamped with chip clips and clothes line hangers for 3 months I applied the faux wood tape and it is not a direct color match i know, but it will hold the loose parts of the vinyl in place and protect from more damage for now. Well let me know what you think did i make it worse?
