Center Armrest Cover Removal
The
CF Armrest cover is made in two versions. It is structurally rigid and
the underside is compression molded for an exact fit over the plastic
armrest piece.
Version
1:
Tools
needed:
Utility Knife
This
kit comes with 3M .031" acrylic double-sided tape attached to the
underside of the cover. Installation merely requires you to cut off the
leather/vinyl/foam from the underside of the armrest and remove. Clean
the top surface. Peel and stick on the Shaped Carbon Fiber Armrest
Cover.
Version
2:
Tools
needed:
Drill, 3/16" drill bit or smaller, 5/8" drill bit, Philips screwdriver:
Version
2 replaces the 3M adhesive with 2 pre-drilled inserts (and supplied
Screws) for use with the existing holes on the bottom of the Armrest.
This requires drilling a pilot hole through the existing upper plastic
piece, then drilling a 5/8" hole through the top plastic only. The
cover is then fastened via the 2 provided screws through the bottom
plate directly into the insert.
Both
versions should take less than 30 minutes to complete. This
is a skill level 1 task.
This
is the mold for the underside of the Carbon Fiber cover. Version one =
tape over those two big holes. Version two = holes are filled with
Polyvinyl Resin and pre-drilled.
This
is the underside of your existing Armrest with the Leather cut away.
The CF armrest cover attaches via screws through these two holes.
