Step by Step Instructions

1) Open up the arm rest and remove the 6 visible Phillips screws.



2) Remove two more screws under the plastic armrest lock clip and slowly remove the arm rest frame.



3) You can now see the 4 silver screws holding the armrest to the hinge. Remove them and take off the upper shell of the arm rest.



4) Unpack your brand new armrest cover and fit it to the arm rest shell. You have the option of removing the original suede. I left the OEM suede on in case I want to revert back to stock in the future.




5) Once you have the Leather on the arm rest, stretch it out to your liking over the shell and clip in place with soft - pressure clamps.



6) Staple the leather to the arm rest using 6mm - 1/4" or smaller staples. You may need to trim the leather around the corners like the OEM suede. Trimming will depend on how tight you want the leather.




7) Re-install the newly re-upholstered RedLineGoods leather arm rest into your EvoX. Replace the 4 silver Philips screws that attach the arm rest to the hinge.



8) ***CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY so you don't break the hinge***, insert the armrest frame into the arm rest shell. Replace the remainder of the flat Philips screws and re-attach arm rest lock clip with round Philips screws.



9) Enjoy your new leather arm rest.





10) Or match it up with a new RedLineGoods shift boot and make your interrior really POP.



Useful tip:
You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.
