2007 - 2021 Chevrolet Express Van 2500 Driver Armrest Cover - Medium Dark Pewter - All Vinyl

Armrest requires a little patience and creativity

We replaced all of the seat components on the drivers seat of our 2012 Chevrolet Express van. The factory armrest has the upholstery adhered directly to the foam, so you can't remove and replace the old cover. To shore up the damage to the arm rest foam, I used some clean wool socks to cover the old armrest, and slid the new cover over the outer sock cover. Without adding material to the existing arm rest, you will have slack in the cover. Removing and reinstalling the arm rest from the seat is difficult -- you need to slide the seat back cover UP to access the c clip retainer inside the seat. Reinstalling the arm rest took the longest out of the entire process --it is a slow process of malleting the armrest pin into the seat back until you can see the groove that the c retainer clips onto. Ultimately, very happy with the results. Selling a factory-like armrest assembly would probably be an easier repair, but the price is right with just the cover. Would do it again!
