My armrest is sticky. Not cause of jizz or anything. I'm just always resting my arm on it and I guess the swede is just wearing away a little. Anyone else's like this? Can you get them re-covered?

 

My armrest is not sticky, but it is getting worn down... I believe someone on the board a while ago got their's recovered, but I do not remember who it was. It might be a problem in regards to the Type R plaque.

 

tuck an' roll some crushed velvet on there, Yo!

 

ahahaha...dat is some funny chit!

i just left the plastic on mine...i will last a long time that way...

just like my couches...take it off on special occasions

 

hey Marc, mine is the same way...

 

same here

 

guys...if it bothers you that much, these can still be had through your nearest acura dealer...for a pretty penny though no need to re-upholster...oem

 

nope... arm rest is sitting in my bed room safe and sound.
Center console = no arm rest for me.

Chances are, the armrest is not actually wearing away....it's just full of dirt and dead skin from your arm always resting there.....which matts down the suede-ish stuff and makes for a kinda shiny, grayish looking armrest.

Get a toothbrush, and a dilute solution of dish-soap and water.....wet the brush, and scrub away.....the crap will come out of the material pretty quickly. And once, dry, it'll look good as new....and won't be sticky anymore.

Cheese~

 

cheese, thats a good idea, i just thought mine was worn from all the years of abuse my elbow has given that armrest. I'll give that a try

 

i reupolstering expensive?

i want to reupolster a pair of seats in maybe cloth..

 

I placed a Velocity Speed Gear toboggan over my arm rest, any T-bog will do.
I remove it when I show the car or transport friends.

 

Leather seat kits can be had for around $800.00 do it yourself, not hard. Katskinz.com

 

check it out, between working in a very busy restaurant cooking at night, and doing paint and fiberglass repair durning the day, my arm rest was freak nasty. I got this stuff called "armor all multi-purpose auto cleaner with foaming action" and hit it once a week with that stuff, giving the foam a minute to work it's magic. It works really good and my arm rest is not sticky any more.

 

not mine. i don't relly rest my right arm. but on my door it is all shinny from my left arm.

 

sure ..its sticky from wear....i beleive that one....you should learn how to aim better...

 

Or tell her to swallow
