The foam padding in the center console lid has gone flat right where I like to keep my arm. Anybody pull the cover off to install new padding?
or find a padded cover that fits well?

Here's a pic of what I'm dealing with.b8e6c74005a5dd8aa6b917cff39d308b.jpg

Just replace it. I would check local salvage yards. There are some online ones also.

There's a bunch on eBay, good used ones from $100.00 and new ones $300.00 and up.

Thanks guys. Finding replacements is pretty easy just didn't want to go that route.

I finally took time today to figure out how to fix it and thought I'd share how I solved it. It turns out getting to the padding is a piece of cake.

There are 6 T-20 hex drive screws holding the inner skin on.

and 3 more holding the latch attachment

The rubber cover just pulls up from around the edge. Where the foam turned colors is where the troubles at. The foam itself is about 3/8" thick. It was paper thin at the front corner.

I added a folded piece of felt batting to make up the space.

Here it is all finished. I'm really kicking myself for not dealing wit this sooner.

On the subject of console lids, I have a 2019 Classic that has just a plain lid -- no Ram's head logo. I found a nice-looking one on eBay that has a logo. But why does it have a wire sticking out of it? What's that for?
