quick help, replacement armrest cover
My armrest leather is all stretched out, even after just a few thousand miles and me being careful not to put too much pressure on it. its the only part of my car that looks warn out. Where is the best place to order a replacement armrest cover/lid? I can only find cheesy aftermarket stuff online, having trouble finding a direct replacement for the original GM part.

Did the replacement hold up better? honestly didn't even think of trying that, figured its just normal wear for this thing, although disappointing. I'm due for an oil change anyway, so I will see if they can get it replaced under warrantee.

Mine was replaced only about a month ago, but it looks a little different; it's not just the same part, I don't think. Looks like they upgraded it because it wasn't holding up well.
I think others have reported that the new one holds up better.

This was a common complaint in earlier MYs. For 18, a firmer foam version was introduced. My 14 had the divot, but my new 18 is most definitely firmer, and showing no signs of deformation.

I would try and get it replaced under warranty if you still have one in effect. I know others have done that.
