For everyone who is not sure about arm rest cover installation

1. dismount arm rest (everyone will handle for sure , just two screws holds it)
see stock surface after years is really ugly and dents are deep


2. remove six screws below

...and you will see inside of arm rest...

...where absolutely nothing is needed to do. If you want you should remove OEM cover
but it's glued really tight. Personally I didn't do that... and I recommend not to do that as well!


3. find right direction of new cover

...cuz one side is tinner! However it can be recognized easily.

4. pull out new cover (I believe it's better that way...)

I have used needle and bit thicker stitch. Also is necessary make some holes for screws...

5. screw arm rest together

It's bit harder because of stitching inside. Also this step will a bit more pull out new cover again.

You can see no dents visible and cover fit's perfect... (that's why I recommend keep OEM cover where it is)

6.install arm rest to the car again... (piece a cake )
results are below:
