The Alcantara on my door cards is coming away around the door handle aperture so it needs sticking back down, any recommendations for a good glue that wont damage the fabric please?

Its the foam padding in-between that has broken down with age, u really need to remove the foam, but its a very tricky job, but if you remove the foam the fabric will look flat and bumpy.

you can re trim the door cards and get foam backed stretchy material pretty much the same material colour.
Means you need to seperate the door card panel and clean every bit of the old crumbly foam off otherwise glue will not stick.
As mentioned, hi temp glue is the best
