Can anyone provide suggestions/tips for what to do to repair vinyl on the armrest lid? Too pricey to replace entire console with OEM part. Thanks!

I took mine to an upholsterer and they replaced the vinyl with a similar-textured real leather cover with identical stitching. They also added a layer of foam underneath to make it even more comfortable. The know how to disassemble the console and put it back together when done.

Well, I ended up purchasing an OEM used cover from eBay for $130 inc. shipping was very easy to install. Turned out great!

Both solutions look really good. My center console is still looking good but I do have to get the bottom of my front seats re-upholstered. The vinyl is splitting pretty bad. I guess time takes it's toll on all things. The leather seats and the seatbacks still look fantastic though.
