colinnwn Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi, The vinyl on my center console armrest is deteriorating. The patent finish is flaking off on my arm, and it has a fake suede feel now. I looked at Courtesy Parts, and the replacement is $208. That's a little more than I was wanting to spend. Has anyone else had this problem and found a good fix? I've thought about taking it to a local auto upholstery shop to see if they could recover it and how much it would cost. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoi408 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 When I bought my truck, the center console had a huge crack down the middle. I wanted to replace it so I looked around and found a local Nissan dismantler. I bought the replacement console for just shy of $100. It was a bit steep in my opinion but I now have a new console. I'm sure you can find a wrecking yard somewhere. It's also a really easy fix, when you fold up the console, there's 2 botls that hold it in place. Unscrew them and replace with the new piece.

wmj259 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 You can do it yourself if you want. There should be DIY's and if you need fabric hope into Jo-anns fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 What color is it? I have some brown material here that is fairly close to the Nissan stuff. I used it for my fridge centre lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My center armrest is tearing, and I'd like to fix it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
