1999 Mazda 626 es from North America - Comments

All four door panels are separating. I tried to glue them, but they are literally falling off of the door.

The radio's volume and Cd player only work when it wants to.

The leather seats are wearing out.

Overall, this car has been more than dependable for myself and my family. I do not have any negative comments regarding my Mazda other than the facts listed below.

For one thing, my radio volume button and Cd player work only when it wants to. This can be very annoying when turning the volume up because it has a tendency to go down instead of up. So I have to then turn the radio off and then on again for it to work properly.

My door panels leather on all four doors is completely coming off!! I have tried every glue, adhesive out there, but they simply will not stay in place. I did contact Mazda, but they said they have never heard of this problem before. I don't know what to do, but it is something I cannot overlook anymore, or afford to buy new ones!!

The last, but least... The leather seats don't seem to be holding up well. I pity myself when it's time to trade this car in (which will probably be soon) I won't get anything for trade value. Especially when they look inside and see the interior falling apart, literally :) PLEASE if anyone has had similar problems, especially with the door panels and have found a resolution for them, please email me with what has worked for you. That would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem with my 1999 Mazda 626. The door panels look nasty.

Try an epoxy. They will bond just about anything, LOL. You can get a cheap tube at Walmart for $5 or you can get some "instant" epoxy. (but be warned it cures in less than 10 seconds... Once it's set you aren't going to get it off)
