Default Console Cover

I know this has been addressed here before, but is there any fix for the wrinkles that are starting to appear on the console arm rest of my 2014 Stingray?

The fix is to replace it

Other than replace it, I bought a cover for it that fits nicely over it.
Amazon Amazon
Mine was fine for two and half years. Then I started using sunscreen on the area of my arms that rests on the left arm rest on the door and the console lid. In a just a week they were wrinkled.
If the 36 month warranty on your car is still going, that would be an option.

I must admit I've been looking at that (I sold my 2014 that had the problem but thinking I might avoid it in my coming 2019 by using this in the first place)

I had mine replaced about 1 1/2 years ago for a dimple where I rest my arm. The new one seems to be doing it again. Next time I’ll have it repaired properly at an upholstery shop. I’m sure there has to be a foam that doesn’t leave an impression where my arm rests.
