    Is there anyone that makes an oversized arm rest pad for the center arm rest?
    I'm tall and the arm rest is too low and on trips I need to roll up a towel or something to make it higher.
    Was thinking about a cover that has more height to it or some kind of fix to raise it up at least 1-2 inches maybe more.

    If there is not then I may end up making one.

    The stock center console arm rest is actually about a half inch thick. I found that out when I replaced it with a thin piece of leather. After 1 drive I had to pull the leather off and pad it with a couple of sheets of craft foam.

    A seat cover company like Headwaters, with awesome customer service, would almost certainly make you a custom console cover that is extra deep to allow you to add a spacer block underneath. Give them a call, you'll probably even get to speak directly with the owner of the company.

    Except even with the padding, it won't be near as thick as the stock one. OP just wants to raise it up, not get an expensive leather one necessarily.
