I just had to take a quick trip, and that's something I noticed. I've had the car for 3 years and just now noticed how uncomfortable they were and was going to ask the same thing.

I drive with my left hand on the wheel so rarely use that arm rest. Me being a tall guy, nothing has ever really worked well for me anyway in any vehicle I ever owned. But if you find a way to fix it, let us all know.

I know that Satur9 has put padding on the middle console armrest, but don't know of anybody who has done the doors either. You want to be the guinea pig?

I have already cushined the center console with 1" foam with matching interior fabric around the flip top with an elastic band cinching the bottom of the cover.Looks like it came with the car as new
