I got wrinkles in the console lid and the left armrest on the door when I started using sunscreen in the elbow area of my arm a few weeks ago. I did a test with the sunscreen lotion on an old out of commission armrest I had from another car made out of the same leather type material in the Vette and it wrinkled also. So I proved it was the sunscreen as suspected. Not that fussy myself, so I just bought the cover.
Jim, I think Joe's got the better idea. The aftermarket lid I bought from a vendor here has even developed some wrinkles over the last 1 1/2 years of use, and I don't use sunscreen.

Just don't use sunscreen on the area of your arms or elbows that come in contact with the car.
I had my car for 2.5 years and had a perfect lid. Shame on that sunscreen!
I like that. Although I haven’t had any wrinkle problems on my arm rest, I think I’ll get one. I assume it just has a stretch elastic border to hold it in place? Would there be enough “give” under it to place a small foam pad on top of the console? Maybe about the width of a computer mouse pad?
I just use a black folded face towel... provides padding and absorbs moisture when I wear short sleeves....
Enough padding I can lean on it getting out of the car with no affect on the console lid.

Yes. Stretch elastic border to hold it in place. Fits like OJ Simpsons glove. Very good.
If the foam pad isn't too thick, I think you are good. The fabric will stretch a little come to think of it. Yeah, I would say you are good. I was even considering it before my lid went to hell.
Priced without a Corvette tax.
Very good.
