The install was actually quite easy. You need to take the door panel off and remove the screws that hold the arm rest in (5 in total if I recall correctly). then you can peel the cloth off. came off very easy and quick since its just held with spray-adhesive. once thats done, clean the old adhesive with Goo-Gone (this was the most time consuming of the entire install), wipe it down with water (to remove the Goo-Gone), spray new adhesive to the plastic and the leather and apply. I did the application in stages...made sure the seam was position properly on the rounded corner first before pressing down on the top of the arm rest. Also did the side as well. After that, I sprayed adhesive to the underside of the plastic near the edge so I could fold the remaining leather. Easy-peasy :D I can put a vid together this weekend when I do the rear arm rests if you like.

Edit: I did keep the cloth in case I want/need to put it back on.
I did the center console/armrest thing... but I got the arm rests and door piece.... and I felt that I am gonna screw it up. if you can give some pointers and a video... it would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

I'll make a video this weekend for the arm rests. If I have time, I'll see if can get the console as well, since I also did tape for the console but want to redo it using the same procedure as the arm rests.

If you’re asking about the cloth cover on the arm rest, nothing. I just pulled it off. It’s only held but some blue spray adhesive.
