Anyone have the Redline goods armrest cover? I need pictures of how it fits the console lid open and closed.

I received mine today and can't get it to fit like the pictures on their website.

Mine the stitching ends up on the top, the middle panel doesn't seem wide enough to bring the stitches to the edge like their product pages show.

I think I got the wrong cover.

Near the middle of the cover, pulled tight I have 5 and 3/4 inches between stitching on my armrest cover. Best guess I would need nearly 7 inches between the stitching for this to fit right.

 

Noone has one installed they could take pictures of both open and close so I can see how this thing is suppose to fit?

I see the screenshots, Brad's own project has one of these covers.

I have spent 5 hours trying to get this thing to fit like the pictures Ive seen. Its impossible, I am now convinced I received the wrong armrest cover. Mine seems more likely to fit a 1999-2004 Mustang.

I was really hoping someone could show me a picture that clearly showed I was doing something wrong.

 

Hey bud, I had one installed at 1st (as well as their E-Brake boot), but once the 2007 Premium Trip Package became available, I bought the OEM leather wrapped console lid from my parts department. While the RLG cover was nice (and it really was), the OEM part is so nice since its factory.

 

I have an email out to redline goods. I plan to try some 1/4 inch upholstery foam. They didn't give me enough to cover the entire top of the armrest lid. If I still can't get it to not look like a retarded monkey installed it I have an OEM leather armrest lid replacement ordered.

I hope the 4 panel shifter boot fits better.

 

I had a one of their shifter boots and it was really nice. I'm going to get another one since I had switched out the shifter bezel and ****.

Hey Jeff,
You dont happen to know the part number for that PTP console lid do you?

 

I just wanted to let those who responded and anyone in the future searching for redline products know the outcome of this. I received an email response from redline apparently I was sent the correct armrest cover. I was able to get it to fit. Its looks nice and the leather is a nice quality.

I still need to find more foam the amount they provide leaves some saggyness on the sides.


The final installation doesn't look like their pictures online, I haven't addressed this with redline, although it doesn't look the same, I am satisfied with it for now.
Here is a picture:

Jeff, Is this the armrest you have now?

When I installed mine , I unscrewed the plastic on the bottom of the lid and tucked the cover underneath it and got a much tighter fit ...

 

Here's mine

 

Jeff, any pix of this OEM lid??

 

Thank Robbie, mine looks like yours. Stitching end up on top, not at the corners like 05YellowGT's. Despite this. I am satisfied with the Redline products both the armrest and shifter boot and would recommend them to anyone.

 

Tom, I PM Jeff and he confirmed that this is the part he is referring to. It is the console cover from the Premium Trim Package
