SR5 OEM Center Arm Rest Upgrade (Part Number 58905-35160-C2 -- Door Sub-Assembly, Console Compartment)

[pamy105]

Hello,

Lots of great content on here that has helped me upgrade my SR5. I wanted to share one I recently did I haven't seen on here.

The rubber center arm rest was less than desirable especially after upgrading the shift knob to the leather OEM one.

I found the OEM leather center console with grey stitching that matches the SR5 interior very nicely.

Here is it with the correct part number (Part Number 58905-35160-C2 -- Door Sub-Assembly, Console Compartment).

I paid $200 and the install took about five minutes. Super easy.

Updated with install instructions:

Install is incredibly easy. Pull gently on the rear panel of the console that holds the AC vents. And the panel will come off very easily. Then open center console and pop off just the top of the sides of entire center console working from the back where back piece was removed. Then pull the sides far enough away to clear the top insert that holds armrest, look at the new part for guidance. Then pull up the panel where the cup holder is closest to center console. You should then have clearance to close the arm rest and the yank up. Comes off very easily. I had my plastic trim tools and didn't even use them. Just my hands.

Looks nice. I know the original is not holding up well.

was that just the cover or whole lid?

now, if I could only find upper door soft soft surface upgrades that are not too difficult to fit.

It is the whole lid assembly.

What trim armrest and shifter did you buy?

Thanks for the post. I’m going to file this away for future reference. In addition to better looks, is the new armrest noticeably more comfortable for an elbow to rest? That would be a nice low cost add to an SR5 if so.

I think this is from the limited trim .

Yes, way more comfortable.

I recently got this one. Easy install and not Toyota OEM, so we will see how long it lasts. But it is made of synthetic with padding and real stitching that attaches tight with no movement. I have an SR5, which had that durable rubber pad; I just did not like it, felt cheap. This new one seems to hold up.
