ARMREST COVER Nissan Altima 07+
1. First open the armrest and look underneath where you will see a cover plate blocking the inside portion of the armrest cover.
2. Using a butter knife or small flathead screwdriver pry open the cover to expose the underside of the armrest where you will see 2 phillip screws and 2 torx screws holding the armrest lid to the center console. Unscrew them to release the armrest. (Hint start prying close to the base as shown in the picture.)
3. Now to separate the cover and armrest slider you will need to remove 6 small phillip screws. You can access the top two by sliding the slider down. The other four are hidden and accessible by sliding these port holes on the slider to line up with them on the cover. You can’t access all four in one shot. You will need to slide the slider down further for the last 2.
4. At this point the cover is now released from the slider. You may need to wedge the cover from the slider to get them apart.
5. Slip the new armrest cover on the lid. It’s your choice to leave the OEM material or to take that off. Choosing to leave it on is a much easier route. You will need hot glue the inside edge to make the cover taught and not loose looking when installed. Start with a decent dab about the size of 3 pennies when its been spread and work from the middle outward. Place 3 dabs per side. If you see a loose spot on the lid pull the leather as best as you can and glue as needed. (See diagram for glue placement on this install marked in green.)
6. Reinstall everything in the reverse order of removing it.
Useful tip
You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.
