Default arm rest cover

Got my beige arm rest cover for my console. The old one was brown and Vaglink (China) only had beiges. Great product! $40.00 well invested.

I ordered the $40 from vaglink (plus the $18 shipping) for a replacement black leather one since I spilled super glue on the cover of mine. I got it Friday, but while waiting for it to arrive, I actually was able to clean all the glue off of my OEM one using a bunch of different products. If anyone is interested in the new vaglink one let me know. Looks the be a great replacement. I got the rear seat cupholder from them with the same order and it was also perfect!

What a freaky coincidence...I read the post(s) about other peiple's armrest covers breaking, and couldn't understand what the fuss was all about. One month later, my arrest pad is all wobbly. I see that one of the hinge arms is all cracked and ready to crumble away. Jeesh!

Alas, it is the beige color and I can't use your black one.

Anyone have a ling to the Vaglink site? Do they have the best price? How do they compare to dealer price?

Their price s the best for a new one, but they are not OEM parts. The leather is not exactly the same and neither is the amount of padding. For the price, it is a good replacement.

Widdle a couple pieces of aluminum and $7 in epoxy and you can keep your original

ECS can get it for you. I ordered one about a month ago - looks great & fits perfectly. I cost something like $140 but the color match is perfect.

Default Thanks 05allroad, glad to hear yours is pleasing you!

Indeed we can get it for you. If you want an OEM cover drop me a PM with your VIN and we'll be able to source the exact same armrest lid you had.
