Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Did a search, but could not find this issue.....apologize if it has been discussed prior. The armrest on the driver door has developed a crack. My Cayman is a DD (34,000 miles), and is often used for long trips. Therefore, right where I rest my left elbow, the armrest has split. I will be taking it in for replacement, but just wondered if anyone else has had this particular problem. Thanks,

POST 2Original post

first I would install some security cams and find out who else is driving your car when you are not there

POST 3Original post

I can assure you that is not happening.......since I almost never let it out of my sight! Must just be some freak think....my dealer had never seen it before, and they have ordered a new part under warranty. They seemed to be as shocked as I was when I discovered it. I just need to drive faster.... then my elbow would not ever touch the armrest.

POST 5Original post

Sorry for the late reply.....very busy today. It is not leather.

POST 6Original post

Hugh, I would be very interested in finding out how you fared with your return to the dealer with the split armrest problem. I too have the same problem, but with far fewer miles: Just over 7000. My interior has an aluma-look vinyl armrest that has a similar crack which has just developed in the driver's armrest. I was wondering if the warranty covered the repair? The "slit" is very narrow and about 2 inches long. It is not very noticeable at all, but will, I am certain, widen with wear. With absolutely minimal miles on my Cayman S , it certainly surprised me! Thanks for any input! ..........Crikey!
