Hey guy, was wondering is your door panel is leather or cloth right above the arm pad/elbow rest? It is the flat part on the flat side of the door?

cloth? what's that?? i believe it's leather, or pleather, or vinyl...

All leather on the arm rest, and the area above and around.

Absolutely leather. Looks like good quality leather too.

Leather for me.

I don't think cloth is even an option on the Limited is it?

Page 2 of my sig thread shows a pic of my Limited's rear door and all the leather. Yes, I believe cloth is possible in a Limited. Leather is still considered an option in the Limited I think.

Not leather in the door panels. It's definitely a foam backed vinyl that looks and feels like leather. The only leather in the Limited is the seating surfaces, the stitched steering wheel cover, and the shift knob. Here's the proof.

I had to remove the cover to track down a plastic-on-plastic squeak while resting my arm on the armrest. The whole side panel is of this exact same material. It's about 1/64" thick and backed by a foam pad.

Stapled in place, there's more foam on the top than the sides BTW.

True, only the seating surfaces, wheel, and shift knob are leather. The seating surrounds, door panels, arm rests and anything else that looks leather is vinyl. Go down to your local upholsterer and you'll be suprised how nice some of the vinyl looks these days.

Don't worry though, it's the same situation in almost all cars with leather. Very few actually use leather all around.

leather is standard on the limited.

also, i am pretty sure that the lid on the center console is covered in tightly stretched real leather ( at least on my limited). But the door panel inserts are vinyl.
