Somebody please start making a decent looking armrest cover to go over the cheap looking material that comes stock.

 

That would be nice! Something to "Bulk" it up a little bit.

 

I have elbow hole on mine where I rest it

 

Leather!

 

Since some of you guys are new here, this is a link to my solution. https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...light=armrests.
I use it on long trips but it kind of gets in the way for day-to-day travel. It's still much better than what GM provided.

 

I like what you did with the armrest.

 

There are a couple of brands of seat covers that also have arm rest covers.

I agree the HHR cloth looks cheap and it is certainly a b*tch to keep clean. BUT it is a common material in a lot of GM vehciles, I have noticed, so it is not unique to the HHR.

 

It's nothing more than 1/2" plywood covered with batting, foam, and vinyl. I put the front and back edge on it to it keep from moving. Now I find I should have put a short side on it also because it tends to slid sideways. I have some rubber drawer liner I was going to place below to see if that would solve the problem.
