Squeaky Wheel

Does anyone sell the door panel armrest pads that DON'T actually wrap over the edge of the rest area. I'm only finding the wrap over kind. Would like just a pad that sets on top of the arm rest area. Hope I'm making sense.

Check Apsis and DSVettes

Only ones I can think of is getting later model 2012/2013 whole door panels (used would be alot cheaper) but even then personally they are not all that great. Never had a C6 without the oem pads on the doors though, so don't know exactly how much better they are, or if they are better.

That must be where I'm seeing them, on the 2012+ models. Just look like black arm pads. Thought they were aftermarket. Not important enough for me to swap a whole new door panel. Will just go with the other one's I've seen at places like Mid America, although they look a bit like overkill to me. Just trying to get a little more color contrast on the door panels.

Yeah, They made them standard on 2012+ models, I think when they added the 4lt leather wrap option they were included on those as well. Must have had extra supply toward the end and decided to add them to all door panels.

Like I said I don't think they are worth swapping out the door panels for, as they are still fairly hard, they just look a little better then none at all. Downside is I can't put the aftermarket ones on since they are designed to go on the panels without any at all.

Check out DSVettes.. That is where I bought mine years ago from

I have a set that have minimum wrap around. They look and feel great. I did remove the tape strip and attach with Velcro. One kept falling off, and the Velcro works much better.

Yeah but isn't the Velcro pretty much a tape strip on one side? I'd like to get these too but can't imagine the glue on either tape or Velcro not melting in the heat here and the pad just sliding off in a gooey mess.

Here they are. I hope this helps/inspires others who want something different.
