A Quick Guide On How To Change The Arm Rest Cover

[MadGT]

Open the arm rest and you will notice 4 allen key bolts and the catch bolt on the under side off the arm rest

Undo the catch bolt usin either a pair of plyers or relevant size spanner, use allen keys to remove the remainin 4 allen key bolts. Then remove the plastic body away from the arm rest.
I
n the pics below, the arm rest is covered in foam thats used for wooden floorin, its held down with maskin tape and makes the arm rest more comfortable, you don`t have to use foam material, but it helps.

For this next bit I used Leatherette bought from Dunelm Mill, £2.99 per half metre
You need a piece of material, either cloth or any other material, ie t-shirt.
Put the arm rest on the material and cut a shape out but leave loads of material around the arm rest so that you can then fold the material under the arm rest before attaching the plastic body. Whatever the material you use its goin to be fiddly to get it right first time without any creases.Before you attach the material and the plastic body you can use spray glue to hold the material down, I used maskin tape as the plastic body and the bolts will hold it in place one its all attached, with a bit of luck it should look like this.

BRAVO, why settle for anything less.

if its leather use steam and it will allow it to stretch so you can get the creases out. if its vinyl use a hairdryer on high heat and it will allow it to streatch.
