Default Best way to stitch back together armrest? more.

my armrest is only attached from the face above the button and it flops up and loses it's foam which is present in the back of the car now.

I'd like to sew(***???) this back together. It's plastic melted to the cloth that is on the outside now. but it's all busted off the armrest top. I see how to take this piece off with some plastic headless bolts or something there maybe i have to break it all off and glue it back together first and then push it on a big gob of glue and pray?

Other stuff that's wrong. I got a 1/0 gauge cable that is wired down the door i know how ugly it is and it is scratching off paint on the inside of the door, however the stuff doesn't fit through the ECU without shorting stuff and then it doesn't reach the trunk too well. I'd almost like for it to go to the trunk but first around the driver's right kneecap. I know there's a grommet there but where does the other end end up under the dash if i were to push it through that big piece of rubber grommet?

Would drilling a 1/0+ hole and grommeting the wire myself be best? For now it stays, strung down my door, **** off guy at tire dealership on christmas selling me a tire i need the tire i don't need you telling me how my wiring is ****ed up.

Default i got an airbag light on, empty fluid bc of leak, and brake sensors are going off even tho they are

chopped and taped and tied, so i need a set of front pads with sensors now. and my rear calipers are frozen or ****ed up and probably need replacing or fixing bc they are sticking on and burning my pads (2nd set now that are burning) and squeaking because they must just still be on.
