Is your armrest still holding up? Was it hard taking the armrest apart to get the new skin on?

They’re holding up great! Still look like new

Taking it apart is pretty simple, even if you have two left thumbs. The one issue I had is that because I put it over the old one as opposed to removing it first, the latch wouldn’t hold securely and would pop open unexpectedly. I fixed that by taking the latch off (2 screws) and put a dime under it to act as a spacer. A simple fix that worked perfectly!

As for the steering wheel, it was more tedious than difficult per se. I took someone’s advice and borrowed a steering wheel remover from Autozone or advance auto (I forget which) and stitched it on while watching a movie.

There are videos on YouTube showing how to do both but I’m here if anyone wants more info!

Thank you. I ordered my arm rest skin. What kind of adhesive did you use?

Replaced my console lid cover this weekend. Was sort of fun. I like the outcome better than the padded cover many throw over it.

the cheap amazon, stitch on steering cover actually works very well and easy to install. Just takes a bit of time to do it. It makes the steering wheel thicker, and looks OEM which IMHO is a good thing.

I used a cheap amazon console lid cover, and am happy with it. I consider this a disposable upgrade. Replace it in a few years no big deal.

NICE- that looks great!

I’m sorry I didn’t see your previous post though I don’t think it matters what adhesive is used. Mine was a spray of some sort but any adhesive would work

Thanks. I used 3M Super 77 spray. I would advise against it unless you already have it. It gets tacky super fast-seconds-and if you haven't practiced getting the cover lined up in place perfectly, it can be a pain. A brush on, slower setting adhesive would be a bit easier.
