Has anyone tried to leather wrap the door armrests ? Mine are starting to look a little rough and thought the hard plastic never felt that great against my arm.... any ideas ?

There's a write up by Pedro on www.pedrosgarage.com

I've not done it myself, but seems pretty straight forward. Be careful removing and reinstalling the armrests. The spring can be tricky and the old brittle plastic mounts can break.

I wrapped mine, as well as the plastic part around the door pull. Put some cotton batting underneath it first.
