Question Armrest restoration

I noticed my armrest isnt resting anything and it seems the I have been leaning on a 2x4 for some time now. I was wondering if there is anyway to restore is back to being comfortable again...

Do any of you guys know if the armrest leather can be removed, then stuff some padding or something under, and reinstalled?

I thought about buying another because mine has some wear and tear on it but they are pretty expensive. (for me anyway, the last time I checked it was around 190)

$190 is def. not worth it for a new fricken armrest, i just need a cover that has more padding. Can it be disassembled?

If you're talking about part 14, it sells for 150 on that site.

That's what I wanted to get because mine has lost some color.

I have an 01 and my arm rest is pretty worn but 150 is a lot for a student! It will have to wait another 2 years when I graduate and find a good job so I can buy an 08 TL.

Mine is fading and scratched up. I will have to buy one eventually even at 150. I would rather buy one new then get one from the junk yard.
