Refreshed Center Arm Rest
4 Attachment(s)
I recently had my center arm rest recovered and am happy with the results.
In fact, the outside looks so good, I decided to replace the interior of the rest, as well. Parts were surprisingly reasonable (new cubby box, coin insert, and catch bezel). Before/After: |
While doing this I also addressed a really annoying issue, the cup holder would pop open just by looking at it.
I wish I took pictures, but my fix was to modify the button. The problem was there was little contact between the button and the cupholder catch. I took apart the top to get to the button. The button is 2 pieces with a spring clip that pushes it forward. I disassembled the button and shaved the tab by a few mm. This way the button pushes forward more to get a better latch with the cup holder. Kind of a pain but not difficult and I really wish I took pics but I am very happy with the results. I used a thin coping saw and a file to trim the tab. Best! dsd |
Refreshed Center Armrest

I'd like to have my center armrest refreshed as well. Seems the original owner had a heavy arm and the whole top is cracked and split. Perhaps it can be re-upholstered or replaced. I've been looking on ebay for Jaguar parts and there seems to be quite an abundance of parts including a few center armrests.
Here's a picture of the ugly thing. |
What did you have done and who did it?

This was done by Lim's Auto Upholstery in Chantilly, VA. |
Our armrest was also cracked and ugly. Replacing the whole console lid is very expensive and used ones only buy so much time, so I found this outfit to supply the new leather:
