    My 2006 Prius had the light cloth interior and I was wondering if anyone makes a cover to go over
    the arm rest in the front seat? It will get dirty real fast if it is used alot with oil from our skin. I would like a leather one if possible.

    I assume you are talking about the arm rest between the front seats. I have the "Center Armrest Cover" and I like it very much.

    I also have the door armrest covers, but I don't like them very much. If you look at the enlarged picture for the "Toyota Prius 4 piece Armrest Door Covers Black", you will see that the hemmed seam along the front and bottom of the door armrest covers kind of bulges up a bit. It's more prominent in person.

    But the center armrest cover looks great. I highly recommend it.

    I second the PriusHoods. I bought the center armrest cover two days after my car...and it's fabulous. I bought mine on ebay. The install was simple, and completely removeable. (There is a bit of adhesive on the velcro but it's inside the console...and some denatured alcohol would take it right off if I ever need.)

    This is why I am trying to find out how to get the door arm rests off. I want to cover them in a better way, so as to protect that fabric. I totally wore out the armrest on my last car in 4 years.....

    See my previous post with pictures. It was a lot of work but well worth it.
