Default Elbow dent in door panel arm rest - Is that piece separate?

Can I replace the grey arm rest part only? Or, will it have to be the whole door panel?

Wait what? I had this replaced under warranty and they had to replace the whole door panel! Got a link to the replacement "pad"?

get a quote from an upholstery shop (marine and auto) to see what they can do, they might be able to steam it out.

This is a separate piece. I bought my Z06 used and had the infamous center console loose fabric and a big fat dent in the door arm rest fabric. They replaced both under warranty.

You sure they didn't just replace the entire door panel? We seem to be getting conflicting info on this.

I am not sure if they did the whole panel or just the arm rest. I wish I were home to see. I went on the GM website and it looks like it is incorporated with the skin but I am not home to verify. Either way, warranty still covered it.

I have looked into purchasing this piece separate (door arm rest) and you can not do this. The arm rest and the door panel is all one piece. As mentioned, you will have to order the entire door panel. Maybe a auto upholstery shop might be able to correct. My guess, you will have to order the door panel.
