Changing the Armrest Material

[Cody L]

Hello,



So since I got the Wet Okole seat covers, they have still not been able to send me the right armrest/console cover. So, I've decided I want to take the leather off and replace it with neoprene to match the seat covers.



How hard is this to do? I'm at work now and I am just trying to get a little feedback. Thanks, Cody

Which console?

The console with the black bag.

Shouldn't be too hard. As long as there is a removable plastic panel on the underside of the arm rest all you really need to do is remove the bottom plastic, stretch the material over the top and replace the plastic on the bottom. You can use staples or glue to hold it down on the bottom side.

Mine is not the bag console, but I figure they are connected about the same. Take it loose from the hinges and on the bottom are several screws. Remove them. Then recover it. I added some padding to mine so they would be more comfortable._Ron

I also stapled mine to the underside.

I bought one of the recovering kits from eBay and installed it. I installed it with staples. Can't hardly tell it's not OEM.
