I have a 96 A4, the armrest covers are very worn, it the only thing worn on the interior of the car. any ideas?

 

Classifieds, craigslist, pull-n-save lot? Dealer maybe?

 

I'm finding b5 Passat complete armrest assemblies on ebay, looks like the same basic design as the b5 A4, but I'm not sure on the fitment.

 

repair it yourself!

I did my own with a DIY someone wrote up on AZ.

here are some pictures after the repair







found that DIY now here you go.

Wow, nice work, i just might go that route. thanks man

 

maybe you need to find a DIY for that wrecked seat too. armrest might be worth trying though.

 

yeah, i really need that too... other than those two things my interior was flawless when i bought it, and still : ) (minus being realllly dirty in those picture ha) but seat is next on the list

is there a DIY for that too?

 

i bought a good one out of a euro junkyard for cheap, also another option.

 

I know that this isn't really about the armrest cover, but my armrest lid is broken and I have been searching and searching for a replacement lid with no luck. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. But I know that after I get the lid replaced, I'm going to do that DIY armrest cushion

 

The B5 Passat lid itself is a no-go (the front is rounded and the A4 is square). You MIGHT be able to adapt the entire armrest and container into the car though.

I am going to be redoing mine in suede very soon, and I have a basically perfect black leather armrest right now. If you want to remove your cloth one and mail it out, I'd send you my leather one in trade and just suede over the cloth one you have. PM me for more details.
