KBH Door Panel Armrest Cover Replacement for Honda Odyssey 2011-2017, Vinyl Leather, Car Door Arm Rest Replace Skin Upholstery, Anti-Scratch, 1 Pair, Dark Gray (Leather Part Only)

Exelente!!

This worked great! Wish I would have laid it flat before installation to get the crease out, but all in all, worked great.

I thought the quality and color match of this was very good - good value. I have four installation pointers: (1) I removed the plastic guide strip from the OEM pad to aid initial alignment. Just remove stitches and glue to the replacement along the seam. (2) Contact cement doesn't work ... I thought that is what they were using in the installation video. Regardless, I found 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to work perfectly - it holds the fabric, and is easy to pull back if a mistake is made. (3) The curve in the middle is a struggle to get adhesion with smoothness (OEM uses a vacuum system), but I found that by using a 1-1/2" rigid foam cylinder worked great to press into that curve. (4) The plastic tool that is included is useless. Stretching the fabric is all that is needed to remove creases and get an OEM look. Along the edge, I used pliers to pull, and then press with my fingers on the back side.

I fixed my problem with the torn armrest. I got the color wrong, but it looks great—and for a DIY job, It turned out very well, but the quality is just so-so.

Very very slight difference in color, but only when laying side by side, otherwise it's same, good quality, just make sure to wait for spray adhesive to be tacky before applying the cover on.

Fits an works well. Do get yourself a good spray adhesive. This is quality. Seams were def. Strong.

Taking the door panel off was scary (thank you you tube for some amazing videos), but the process as a whole was pretty simple. It took 45 minutes from start to finish, and this included the 15 minutes I waited for the contact cement I used to set. The material looks very close to the original to the point where unless you point it out, no one will ever notice. I used contact cement as the adhesive (adhesive not included) because I like the bonding power, and the control in application. I was able to take the door panel off myself with a small flat head screw driver (to pry things) and a Philips bit on a drill (could have used a manual screw driver but I had a drill on hand). The panel isn’t heavy but there is a point where you need to disconnect some things behind the panel while holding it- watch a few videos before so you know what to look for/ how the connectors disconnect. I was grossed out by the amount of debris that was inside the door panel BTW- totally cleaned that out while contact cement was setting. With the armrest piece: I ripped off the old covering and cleared it of as much old foam as I could. Next- rough fit the new covering. Make sure you see where the new covering needs to sit (the stitching on the covering lines up with a channel in the plastic armrest piece). It looks like you could trim the covering but don’t- you can trim once you wrap (you’ll be happy you have a little extra if you don’t center the covering perfectly). Have a sharp pair of scissors that you can throw out ready). I covered the entire back of the new covering with contact cement (really ‘got it into’ the foam backing. I then covered the plastic armrest piece with contact cement, being extra sure that I got all of the edges AND about a 1/2” over on the backside (where the covering will wrap around). I almost used the full can. Let this sit for the full 15 minutes- the covering soaks a lot of the contact cement in. You want to make sure that it is all ready to go. Once the 15 minutes is up, you’ll want to start with the stitching line- line that up along the channel on the armrest piece. Press firmly and work up towards the top, smoothing and pressing as you go. Contact cement is not forgiving so work slowly. With contact cement you don’t have to stretch as aggressively as you might need to with a spray adhesive because the contact cement gets into the foam- doesn’t sit on top. If you are lined up well, cover each piece well, and press the covering firmly to the plastic, it will work great. As the title said- for $40 in materials and an hour of my time, totally worth it!!

Well built. Good color match. But does not have the rigid locator plastic “bar” like OEM. But, that is not necessary and may not help DIY installation. Watch a few YT videos before starting project. People are not going to buy the whole darn door panel to fix the arm rest. So if Honda sold the upholstered arm rest part, they could make some good money. I’d pay $50 for them, but back to reality… this item is great if you have the physical and mechanical skills required.
