EVO X INSTALLATION OF THE ARMREST COVER, (with optional padding)

15. Open up the arm rest and remove the 6 visible Phillips screws.

16. Remove two more screws under the plastic armrest lock clip and slowly remove the arm rest frame.

17. You can now see the 4 silver screws holding the armrest to the hinge. Remove them and take off the upper shell of the arm rest.

18. Unpack your brand new armrest cover and fit it to the arm rest shell. You have the option of removing the original suede. I left the OEM suede on in case I want to revert back to stock in the future.

19. If you are removing the stock vinyl, you can glue the padding to the armrest, which will make your job easier - but it's not necessary. Some trimming of the padding may be required.

20. Once you have the Leather on the arm rest, stretch it out to your liking over the shell and clip in place with soft - pressure clamps.

21. Staple the leather to the arm rest using 6mm - 1/4" or smaller staples. You may need to trim the leather around the corners like the OEM suede. Trimming will depend on how tight you want the leather. 

Alternatively, you can use glue instead of the staples, but this will make the process take longer, as you have to glue a section, clamp it down and let the glue settle (refer to the manufacturer's instructions on how long that will take) and only then proceed with the next section.

22. Re-install the newly re-upholstered RedlineGoods leather arm rest into your EvoX. Replace the 4 silver Philips screws that attach the arm rest to the hinge.

23. ***CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY so you don't break the hinge***,insert the armrest frame into the arm rest shell. Replace the remainder of the flat Philips screws and re-attach arm rest lock clip with round Philips screws.
