If the leather covering of the central armrest is damaged, it can be removed for reupholstering or replaced with the original spare part, which is available. Lift the armrest and locate the four screws at the corners that secure the padding to the armrest structure.

Unscrew these screws and detach the padding with the damaged leather. Then, apply the new covering padding, ensuring the hinge pin engages in its respective seat; make sure it is correctly engaged and tighten the securing screws.
