interior issue

The arm rest on the driver side of my 08 has developed an inch long rip. I tried vinyl adhesive to close it but it didn't work. I just don't want the rip to get any longer. It's right where I rest my elbow. Any ideas?

Vendors sell armrest covers to match your interior or exterior colors. Mis America Motorworks for sure.

Get the padded arm rest cover all major vendors sell them, easy to install and looks and feels better than stock.

I don't think 08 came with padded armrest. Could be wrong but I thought it was in 2011 or thereabouts.

Not cheap, but they look factory stock with matching stitching and are twice as comfortable.
