    I cant find one anywhere in any color. Mine is cracked in multiple areas, peeling and pretty damn annoying.

    just swap to 01-04 panels. You'll need the switches if you do that.

    I'm in the same boat. The armrest is easily removable, but it's wrapped in hard plastic and seemingly molded together. Can't just reupholser it, don't think

    I was gonna delete the whole thing for a sturdier drawer-style pull and 3D print a body for the switch panel, but my priorities have walked me away from that and now I just want to make the factory work again lol

    @Black97v6MT, No, just living out here in the desert and using it over 20+ years caused that. The passenger side is fine. Id really like to find a nice used one, its on my radar.
