Default Re-covered my center armrest.

The beige cloth had gotten pretty sorry looking.

But I only had burgundy and black leather (~1.5mm thickness). Considering the two tone (black/beige) nature of the hard trim in my interior I went with the black leather.

It was a simple matter to remove the top cover assembly (just three screws) and then to remove the under-plate (three more screws)








I removed the cloth and then had to peel the rest off, literally. The south Florida heat can take its toll.











I used the cloth as a template and cut my leather accordingly. I used dabs of psychologically unstable glue here and there to hold the leather down, trimming away a piece here and there as necessary and gathered up the corners as best I could (again applying crazy glue to a fold/whatever as necessary) and once again attached the underplate.

Came out ok.

Any plans to do more leather work to your interior panels?

That's exactly what I was looking at when I saw the picture of the finished armrest.

Good luck, keep us updated if you do it
