KBH Door Panel Armrest Cover Replacement for Honda Odyssey 2011-2017, Vinyl Leather, Car Door Arm Rest Replace Skin Upholstery, Anti-Scratch, 1 Pair, Dark Gray (Leather Part Only)

Overall this is a good product. It takes some patience to wrap the panel nicely, but the finished product looks almost factory. The vinyl is stretchable and easy to work with. The color match isn't perfect, but good enough. Buy some good spray adhesive to make the wrapping easier.

This product worked perfectly in our 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite. The doors look close to brand new again!

There are two things that keep this item from being perfect. First it has contrast stitching so you need to replace them in pairs or they will be different. I initially intended to replace only the drivers side since it takes all the abuse and was falling apart. The second thing is that the factory cover has a plastic piece at the stitching and it helps you line up the panel with the plastic door piece it attaches to. If that piece was included it would have taken away the need to eyeball the cover and make sure you have it lined up correctly. It is simple to put the seam in the plastic groove but the tabs help line it up left and right if that makes sense. Overall seems like it will be a good product. Just installed it so no idea how it will wear but it seems solid. I bought the can of Permatex headliner adhesive that others recommended and it seemed perfect for this job.Check the Youtube videos for detailed instructions on door/panel removal. There are great videos that show where the 4 screws are located on the door.

100% recommended . Fit my wife's 2013 odessey

This fabric is made of two layers - the outer gray or black vinyl and then a foam layer. There are some helpful YouTube videos about how to remove the door panel, and yes you do need to remove the whole interior door panel because the piece that this fabric attaches to can only be unscrewed from the inside. You tear off the original material and you are left with a rigid plastic piece. Use headliner adhesive to attach the replacement vinyl. Read the instructions. Generally you spray both surfaces and then let it sit for a couple minutes before attaching the new fabric on to the plastic form. Pay attention to the original material and how it was cut so that you can have a visual to copy as you wrap the new vinyl and deal with the corners and edges.This is where it gets tricky. To get a good fit, you do need to stretch the fabric a bit, but when you do that the vinyl separates from the foam layer. That is the reason for my 3 star review. The solution is to use a brush on adhesive (Weldwood contact cement) to glue to layers of fabric back together and tighten up the corners (again, read the instructions - same deal, brush on to both surfaces and then wait for it to dry to tacky before pressing together.) This would have been a much easier job if the vinyl and foam came with a stronger adherence and I didn't have to glue all of those edges back together.However, for $30 plus whatever I spent on glue, I'm happy with how it turned out. Not perfect but way better.

Taking the door panel off was scary (thank you you tube for some amazing videos), but the process as a whole was pretty simple. It took 45 minutes from start to finish, and this included the 15 minutes I waited for the contact cement I used to set. The material looks very close to the original to the point where unless you point it out, no one will ever notice.I used contact cement as the adhesive (adhesive not included) because I like the bonding power, and the control in application.I was able to take the door panel off myself with a small flat head screw driver (to pry things) and a Philips bit on a drill (could have used a manual screw driver but I had a drill on hand). The panel isn’t heavy but there is a point where you need to disconnect some things behind the panel while holding it- watch a few videos before so you know what to look for/ how the connectors disconnect.I was grossed out by the amount of debris that was inside the door panel BTW- totally cleaned that out while contact cement was setting.With the armrest piece: I ripped off the old covering and cleared it of as much old foam as I could.Next- rough fit the new covering. Make sure you see where the new covering needs to sit (the stitching on the covering lines up with a channel in the plastic armrest piece). It looks like you could trim the covering but don’t- you can trim once you wrap (you’ll be happy you have a little extra if you don’t center the covering perfectly). Have a sharp pair of scissors that you can throw out ready).I covered the entire back of the new covering with contact cement (really ‘got it into’ the foam backing. I then covered the plastic armrest piece with contact cement, being extra sure that I got all of the edges AND about a 1/2” over on the backside (where the covering will wrap around). I almost used the full can.Let this sit for the full 15 minutes- the covering soaks a lot of the contact cement in. You want to make sure that it is all ready to go.Once the 15 minutes is up, you’ll want to start with the stitching line- line that up along the channel on the armrest piece. Press firmly and work up towards the top, smoothing and pressing as you go. Contact cement is not forgiving so work slowly.With contact cement you don’t have to stretch as aggressively as you might need to with a spray adhesive because the contact cement gets into the foam- doesn’t sit on top. If you are lined up well, cover each piece well, and press the covering firmly to the plastic, it will work great.As the title said- for $40 in materials and an hour of my time, totally worth it!!

Reading the reviews you would think people’s expectations are unrealistic. The description doesnt mention it includes the adhesive. Go get some. It doesn’t include a staple gun. Gonna need one. Doesn’t include Philip head driver or instruction to remove entire door panel. Better YouTube and be ready. It does include a very cheap alternative to Honda OEM. I’m not an interior expert but yes i do not have the skill needed to make it curve 90 degrees without the crease that will happen. Maybe I need to heat gun it then adhesive it down to get it tight. I think it’s a great product for the money. Honda oem trim is $80 for one side. Perfect fit and color. This is $30 for both sides. Lots of labor and not exact color match. But do both sides and it will match fine.
