Anyone replace leather center armrest?

So I was looking to change the leather "doors" on the center armrest since mine aren't in great condition. I found this on newTIS;

https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...nsoles/Oypnv65

Has anyone found a way not in TIS? I'm planning to take a look at the replacement console and see if I can just remove the doors from it. This seems like a big task (I think more steps are needed besides what I found in the links) and hoping to see if someone found another way or has replaced them before.

Thanks all

I replaced mine. I bought a used one off ebay. There was no way to just replace the doors. Have to replace the entire assembly. Wasn't too hard, I believe I followed newtis website.

Good luck

Haha, that whole center console is a Freak of Nature!
Between the rear entertainment, the internal iphone cradle, and the thing being built by Santa's elves apparently...
