DSV Fits 2005-2013 Nissan Armada Real Black Leather Seat Armrest Covers (Leather Part Only)

These are terrific. I love having them in my 2011 Titan. They match the black leather interior very well.They were difficult to put on, but that's the design. If they were easy to install, they'd fit loose and look like crap. Install tips I discovered:1. Use a couple of ball point pens as lever arms to help ease the material around the back of the vinyl armrest.2. Get some liquid leather conditioner and condition these covers before you install them. Also, spread some conditioner on the vinyl before you slip this over, as it makes the vinyl very slippery, and the leather cover will absorb the conditioner once it's on, so no mess, and easier install.3. Let these sit in the car in the hot sun or hit them with a hair dryer before you install them, as the heat will make them more pliable and slightly bigger, so they stretch and fit better.4. Take your time and just keep stretching and working the cover over the existing vinyl arm rest. You may have to take a break to let your hands relax a few minutes. Don't get frustrated. It takes some finagling to get these on, but they're worth it.

This is a great fix for a common problem. The arm rest covers fit very tight. You will need some conditioner to help the cover slide on. I repeat this is a very tight fit. Use conditioner and you will need a round dowl or some other round tool to help put cover in final location.Good product, would buy again.

This is great if you want a quick fix that requires nothing but a little elbow grease. Fits like a glove and the quality of the product is fantastic. Would definitely recommend purchasing this product to anyone looking to cover up a worn out or cracked arm rest.

Competing products with easier installations always look floppy and loose; which isn't ideal for an armrest. THIS design is TIGHT once installed, just like the factory version. However its best to plan ahead because it wont be easy to stretch them in to place. Its worth it though, the leather is super thick and it smells great; a huge improvement over my junk OEM pleather (which was cracking and falling apart). Here are some tips I learned for installation, hopefully they help you guys...Note: There is a left and right, you can tell by the shape of the armrest (curved on the bottom, flat on the top). Its important the armrest you install matches thisNote 2: This is a 2011 Nissan Titan, which appears to be identical to the Armada1) Pull the plastic Cap from the factory armrest2) Use a 13mm ratchet and extension to remove that armrest3) Once free, tuck the armrest into the new leather cover, make sure your using the R or L model (see above)4) Its going to fight you when you get close to the end, Be patient and work it bit by bit until you get to the edge5) Use a butter knife to pry the leather over the lip (just like putting a bike tire on a rim)6) Once in place, located the bolt pocket, you can feel it with your finger (see photo)7) Use an X-acto to make an X shaped cut at that location,8) Push the shoulder bolt through the hole and tighten back to your seat with the 13mm ratchet.9) Finally, press the snap-cap (which you removed in step 1) into the cross cut hole you made for the bolt. Done!

The material is ‘pleather’ but okay for an inexpensive fix.The fit: fairly loose. I would NOT remove the old padding. Put the new sleeve right over the old/damaged one. I used a heat gun on low to smooth out the creases. Still not as snug as others have mentioned.My truck is old (2011 Armada Platinum)and used for LOTS of road trips. So if you are NOT looking for a ‘showroom’ replacement then this will do.Too bad there was not choice of thread color either black vs silver would have been cool.

So far the quality seems very good and installation is pretty simple. You do just need to take your time slipping the covers over and in alignment. Like other have mentioned you do need to make some small cuts for the screw hole and cap to press over. Be conservative with the cuts and pre fit the cap to make sure you’ve not gone too wide. Picture shown on my 2011 Nissan Titan. You do have to apply a bit of pressure to get the bolts back on holding it in while turning with a socket wrench. This was a simple way to bring my seats to like new condition as the arm rests were the only place I had the most wear and tear.

Cover is a quality product but the color and stitching does not match our 2011 Armada. I found the key to a tight fit is to install over the original cover. I first removed the old leather cover which is difficult and the new cover was loose and didn’t look very good. After putting the original cover back on this fit much tighter. Now the reason for my 3 stars is the color appears to be more of a charcoal vs black. Our platinum has contrast stitching which doesn’t match either. I’ll keep these until I can find something that matches better. Based on other photos it appears to match other trim levels but it is not a match on a 2011 Armada Platinum.

Def not easy to install, but that is what is needed to make a perfectly snug fit. I took the armrest off for install, then made a few cuts like a cross to install the bolt and cover. Feels really good and fits great, although the material finish doesn't exactly match the rest.
